LSU Pro DayHead coach Mike Tomlin had dinner with defensive end Danielle Hunter and cornerback Jalen Collins Thursday night before LSU’s Pro Day.

After running a 4.57 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine (the best among defensive linemen), Hunter (6′-5″, 251) posted a 20-yard short shuttle in 4.47 seconds and the three-cone drill in 6.95 seconds. After a slow start in the pass-drop drills, Hunter picked up the pace and drew comparisons to Barkevious Mingo. He showed great pass-rush skills as well.

Collins (6′-2″, 199) had a foot operation in the past two weeks which prevented a workout, but Dr. Bob Anderson sent a letter to each team at the Pro Day assuring them Collins will be healed by minicamp.
