Amidst Mississippi State’s NFL Pro Day featuring a possible first-round pick defensive lineman, the best quarterback in the school’s history and a host of highly-decorated NFL hopefuls, the surprise story of the day was MSU’s Lithuanian track star Tautvydas Kieras. The school record holder in the discus throw, TK, as he’s called, measured in at an 6’3” and 271 pounds while pumping out 24 reps on the 225-pound bench press, running an unofficial 4.69 40-yard dash, recording a vertical leap of 35” and a broad jump of 9’8”.
For comparison’s sake, his broad and vertical jumps were tied for the highest of any athlete measured on Thursday.
