[autotag]Mekhi Wingo[/autotag] was a bright spot on a defense that had its share of struggles over the past two seasons, and now the defensive tackle is off to the NFL.
Significantly undersized relative to NFL defensive tackles at 6-foot, 284 pounds, Wingo needed an impressive showing at the scouting combine this week. He did so on Friday as he recorded impressive athletic testing grades when it came to both speed and explosiveness.
His 40-yard dash of 4.85 seconds was particularly impressive, and his 31.5-inch vertical also put him in the elite range.
Wingo was a very impactful player at LSU, and while his size may be a limiting factor at the next level, he proved that he’s a tremendous athlete in Indianapolis. Here are the photos from his performance.
