NFL combine: Former Oregon offensive lineman Kyle Long blazes in 40-yard dash during stong all-around showing

Former Oregon offensive lineman Kyle Long lived up to the hype surrounding his athleticism entering the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Ind.

Long performed with the rest of the offensive linemen on Sunday and posted the third fastest time in the 40-yard dash at 4.93 seconds.

His broad jump of 8 feet, 11 inches ranked 14th. He ranked eighth in the 20-yard shuttle with a time of 4.63 seconds.

Long displayed a 28-inch vertical, a 107-inch broad jump and ran the three-cone drill in 7.63 seconds. Those numbers did not rank among the best at the combine.

Many draft prognosticators project Long to be a second-round draft pick, at least.

The son of Hall of Fame defensive lineman Howie Long played one season at Oregon after spending two seasons at Saddleback Community College. He originally chose to become a baseball player out of high school, signing as a pitcher with Florida State.

Long's inexperience is a concern but he is considered to be a premiere athlete for the position. ?
