AUBURN | Jamel Dean saved the best for last.
On the final day of the 2019 NFL Combine, Dean ran the second-fastest 40-yard dash of the seven-day event. The former Auburn cornerback’s 4.30 is the fourth-best 40 by a defensive back since 2006. He also had a 41.0-inch vertical leap, which was third-best among the cornerbacks.
Dean had the best 40 of the event until former Ole Miss safety Zedrick Woods ran a 4.29.
Six former Auburn players participated in the Combine with wide receiver Darius Slayton also putting up impressive numbers with a 4.39 40-yard dash and 40.5-inch vertical leap.
Auburn will hold its Pro Day Friday. The 2019 NFL Draft will be held in Nashville from April 25-27.
