LSU ER Key posts slow pro day 40 time … Enigmatic LSU edge rusher Arden Key had hoped to run in the 4.6-4.7 range at today’s pro day in Baton Rouge to re-energize his possibly flagging draft status. Instead, Key was only able to run in the 4.85-4.90 range which would have been one of the slowest times of any ER at the combine. Worse for Key, he was running at just 238 pounds and needed to be much quicker at that weight. For the record, Key indicated that he hopes to get back up to the 250-area by the time pro camps open in the fall. It’s hard to tell what that time will do to Key’s overall draft grade, but it sure isn’t going to help. Once a possible top 5 prospect for the upcoming draft, Key has seen his grade slip after he left the team for undisclosed reasons last winter and then struggled through an injury plagued 2017 campaign. Indeed, prior to his pro day, Key appeared to be being considered more as a mid-second round type prospect, but there are whispers around the league that no one should be surprised if he isn’t taken until later in the second day.

Hopefully they were looking at him. They go there to evaluate and see these things in person.

Very interesting about Key.  I honestly wouldn't want him unless it was 4th round or later (which obviously won't happen)

One of the strangest things I've ever seen. Key, as a freshman and sophomore was one of the most athletically gifted players I've seen step on an LSU field. He was unreal. Dude would explode out of his stance and sack a QB before he could finish a drop. He would chase down some of the fastest QBs in college football. He was virtually unblockable. 

Then the leave happened. The weight gain happened. He seemed to round into form for a couple games this year once he got into shape, including the Bama game that he absolutely dominated, but then left with and injury. Then shows up at sub 240 at the combine. Doesn't run. Then runs a 4.85 at 238 pounds at his pro day. 

This guy went from a top 5 lock to mid round to undrafted in a single year. Unreal.
