Jorvorskie Lane Has His Pro Day Workout

The J-Train ended up working out for pro scouts at Lufkin high school. The results were less than impressive:

Texas A&M FB Jorvorskie Lane (5-11 7/8, 297 pounds) was going to work out at Stephen F. Austin, but pro day rules didn’t permit it, so he went to a nearby high school in Lufkin, Texas, to work out for scouts. He ran outdoors on FieldTurf, and had 40-yard dash times of 5.00 and 5.11. He didn’t do the vertical leap but had an 8-foot, 9-inch broad jump with a 4.51 short shuttle and a 7.64 three-cone drill. He did 17 reps on the bench.

The two most disturbing stats have to be his weight and his 40 time. With this being his time to put his best foot forward and impress the pro scouts, Lane didn't show up in shape. If Lane shows up at 265-270, I think the pro scouts would be able to see he is serious about playing in the League. His inability to control his weight is going to make him an undrafted free agent in April.

I'm not sure what to make of his forty time; Lane has never been a speed back, his game is completely power based. Given that, I expected something in the 4.6-4.8 range, and I think most pro scouts would have been happy with that. A 5.0 simply means he is slower than some defensive ends, defensive tackles, and offensive tackles who will be drafted. He is basically showing that teams would be better off puttng an offensive guard in the backfield and let him carry the ball and have Lane back there.

I'm hoping Lane will get a shot somewhere to play, but I can't help but be disappointed that he didn't take his pro day seriously.

He couldn't keep his weight down in college

when he was working out with the school. Why would he keep it down when he doesn’t have to? This is one of those cases you bring up when you talk about great talent throwing away a great contract.

Maybe a team will sign him and force a trainer on him 24/7.
