Isaiah Crowell

MONTGOMERY, Alabama  -- After rushing for almost 2,000 yards and 30 touchdowns at Alabama State, former ASU running back Isaiah Crowell had his day before the NFL coaches, general managers and scouts before a live television audience on the NFL Network.

The running backs that were invited to the combine had their day on Sunday being tested in the 40-yard dash, 225 pound bench press, vertical jump and broad jump.

Speed may be the largest test that is looked at and Crowell ran an unofficial time of 4.50 in the 40-yard dash and ran an official time of 4.57 which was tied for the 16th fastest time among the running backs at the combine.

Crowell had a vertical jump of 38.0" (3'-2") which was tied for the fourth best jump and he was also tied for fourth in the bench presss when he pressed the 225 pounds set of weights 23 times.

In the day's broad jump test, Crowell was able to jump from a standing position 117.0" (9'-9") which was the 21st best standing broad jump effort.

Crowell will now go back into training and will work towards the National Football League(NFL) Draft which will be held Friday May 8-Sunday May 10.

The first round will be held on Friday with rounds two and three on Saturday and Sunday will see rounds four through seven completed.
