Jontre Kirklin, Derek Stingley and Others Shine at Pro Day

The eyes of the NFL world were on Baton Rouge Wednesday as representatives from all 32 NFL teams were in town for LSU’s annual Pro Day.

A total of 16 former Tigers worked out for scouts and the headliner was corner Derek Stingley Jr.

Stingley wasn’t able to work out in Indianapolis as he was still recovering from Lisfranc surgery that ended his junior season after three games. He would remind teams that when he’s right he’s about as generational a talent as it gets.

Stingley ran a 4.37 40-yard dash and had 38.5 inch vertical plus a 10’2” broad jump. If there were any doubts about Stingley’s ability, his fully healed foot and this 40-time should quell all those worries; he’ll be the first Tiger taken the only question is how high in the first round will he go.

But Stingley wasn’t the only Tiger DB to wow. Former receiver/special teams ace/quarterback Jontre Kirklin worked out as a defensive back and showed he’s a freak athlete no matter where you line him up. Kirklin had an incredible 42-inch vertical and a broad jump of 11’5”. Had Kirklin gotten an invite to the NFL Combine in Indy, those would’ve been the best numbers of any participant.

Cordale Flott also had a good time, 4.40, and Andre Anthony, fresh off an ACL surgery, ran a 4.63 which should go a long way towards hopefully a team spending a draft pick on him; and while he was unable to workout because of spinal surgery, it was nice seeing Damone Clark at Pro Day supporting his teammates.

Below is a chart of all the former Tigers who worked out for scouts and their measurements.
