LSU safety LaRon Landry and Michigan cornerback Leon Hall carried on that remarkable trend in grand fashion during Tuesday's finale inside the RCA Dome. Landry showed up nearly 10 pounds heavier (213) than his typical playing weight yet still blazed both his 40-yard dash attempts in the 4.3-second range (4.35 and 4.37). Landry also finished near the top of the defensive back groups in the vertical jump (37½") and broad jump (10-3).
