How does a long-shot prospect get noticed at pro day? Run like a track star and ‘surprise a lot of people’

Dieugot Joseph will run Wednesday as if his career depends on it.

Because it probably does.

The faster Joseph runs, the more eyes he opens.

The more eyes he opens, the better the chance an NFL team takes a shot on him.

And that’s all the athletic offensive lineman from Florida International wants. A chance. A shot. A place on an NFL roster heading into training camp, preferably with a team who will give him a fair shake.

But he won’t get that chance if he doesn’t fly around FIU’s stadium like a superhero hero during his school’s pro day Wednesday.
