Jackson declines to run 40 at pro day: 'Game speed is going to tell it all'
Quarterback prospect Lamar Jackson didn't run the 40-yard dash at Louisville's pro day on Thursday.
"Game speed is going to tell it all," Jackson said, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. "You've (got) to catch me first."
He did attempt roughly 60 throws in front of an audience that included representatives of all 32 teams, according to Dianna Russini of ESPN.
Jackson declined to participate in the 40 at the combine earlier this month amid talk of teams considering him a wide receiver, though he denied those reports.

Jackson won the Heisman Trophy in 2016 and was a finalist in 2017.
He completed 59.1 percent of 430 pass attempts for 3,660 yards and 27 touchdowns with 10 interceptions this past season. He added another 1,601 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground. He rushed for a total of 50 touchdowns and threw for 69 in his three college seasons.
