Q&A with Clemson RB Andre Ellington |
According to an interview with cbssports.com, Andre Ellington said that he went through his personal pro day not completely heathly.
Ellington: I was about 85 percent healthy that day, and I actually played in some games where I was less healthy that that. I actually played pretty well in those games. My Pro Day was really similar to that. I was able to get out there, run and do some drills. Edholm: And you chose to run your 40-yard dashes after a 90-minute workout. Why not do that first? Ellington: Yes. For one, I was already loose. I felt like I would be warmed up that way. On a side note I kind of wanted to show [NFL teams] that it's the mentality for me to go out there and run the 40 after being exhausted and sore and things like that at the end of the workout.
Edholm: Your Pro Day workout came about a month later, and your agent said he wanted to cancel it for fear that you were not fully healthy. How close did you come to not working out that day?
