Former Iowa State wide receiver Allen Lazard may have helped his draft stock Saturday.
The star wide receiver turned in a strong second time during the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine Saturday.
Lazard ran an unofficial time of 4.62 in his first attempt and a 4.56 in his second.
They are certainly respectful times for a player of Lazard’s stature. The former Iowa State star has shown plenty of strength and size with his 6-foot-4,227-pound frame.
He used that frame to become one of the best wide receivers in school history. He’s Iowa State’s career leader in receptions (241), receiving yards (3,360), 100-yard receiving games (12), consecutive 100-yard games (four) and consecutive games with a reception (48).
But the biggest questions about Lazard have surrounded his speed. It’s been such a question mark that some NFL teams have even talked to Lazard about possibly moving to tight end.
