Running the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine is no easy task, and if you aren’t properly warmed up, it can lead to injury.
That was the case for 2 potential first-round linebackers on Saturday at the Combine in Indianapolis.
Per NFL.com, both Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen pulled up with hamstring issues after their second 40 attempts:
Former Oklahoma LB Kenneth Murray and Patrick Queen of LSU, both projected first-round selections in the latest mock drafts of NFL Network analysts, appeared to be favoring their hamstrings after their second 40 attempts.
Queen still managed to clock an impressive 4.50-second 40 time on his first attempt, which was the best mark for any linebacker.
We’ll see how his injury affects his draft prep moving forward, but he has been solid so far.
