NFL Draft - MOBILE, ALABAMA: When Tulane running back Tyjae Spears turned the corner and blasted up the right sideline near the end of the American squad Senior Bowl practice on Tuesday afternoon, he looked like a Lamborghini changing lanes at the light and leaving a highway full of station wagons in the dust.
"I did OK, but I feel like I can do better today," Spears said on Wednesday morning when asked to evaluate his first day of practice. "There's more in store for Day 2."
Spears was right: Wednesday brought more explosive, fastest-guy-on-the-field runs from the 5-foot-9, 204-pound back who rushed for 1,581 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2022, including 17-205-4 in the Cotton Bowl against USC.
