Cornish appears at scouting combine

Monday, March 5, 2007

Former Kansas running back Jon Cornish participated in last week’s NFL Scouting Combine. More than 300 NFL prospects participated in the yearly event, held in Indianapolis.

According to nfldraftcountdown.com, Cornish’s official measurements were 5-foot-11 and 1/2 inches and 206 pounds. Cornish ran his 40-yard dash in 4.62 seconds, not one of the fastest times among running backs.

ESPN.com projects Cornish as a late-round pick in the NFL draft, held April 28 and 29. Cornish was drafted by Calgary of the Canadian Football League after his junior season, but chose to return to Kansas for his senior year. He set the Kansas single-season rushing record with 1,457 yards on 250 carries.
