My guess is he is still affected by his injury and he’ll run a faster time before the draft. However, with top-end speed valued in the NFL, it may be a stretch for him to be picked in the first round. SI.com: “Combine winners and losers: The Losers” Daymeion Hughes/CB/Cal: Speed was the biggest question mark about his game and Hughes ran terribly slow. Timing in the 4.7s, this one time potential first-round choice will now slide into the second round.

The North team had its best practice of the week on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the headline is the absence of Northern Illinois RB Garrett Wolfe (hamstring) and Rutgers TE Clark Harris (toe), both of whom are finished for the week due to their respective injuries. Making matters worse, Cal CB Daymeion Hughes and Michigan DE/OLB LaMarr Woodley both suffered hamstring injuries and are not expected to play in Saturday’s game.

Hopefully his injury is not serious and he’ll be ready for the NFL combines coming up.
