Feb 27, 2018Despite having a fractured foot when he participated in the 2011 NFL Combine, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones ran a 4.39 40-yard dash.
The former Alabama receiver competed despite the fracture and also recorded a broad jump height of 11-foot-3 and a vertical leap of 38.5 inches.
Jones was drafted by the Falcons with the sixth overall selection and was the second wide receiver taken after Georgia’s A.J. Green with the fourth overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals.
He ran how fast?! On a broken foot?
