Tulane cornerback Parry Nickerson smiled on Tuesday when asked how he hurt his hamstring last month.
"Running very fast on the 40," he said.
Nickerson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.32 seconds at the combine, a blazing time that tied for first among all combine participants and certainly helped his NFL draft stock. However, because suffered the injury while running, he couldn't do the other physical testing and position drills while he was in Indianapolis.
On Tuesday (April 3), Nickerson had his chance to showcase his skills as Tulane hosted its annual pro day at New Orleans Saints headquarters in Metairie.
