  Jalen McCleskey's legs are churning so fast on the video that you almost think the footage is doctored. He's running 23 mph, the maximum speed this particular treadmill can go. For McCleskey, a Covington native who just completed his career at Tulane after transferring from Oklahoma State, speed is his ticket to the NFL. But because of the coronavirus pandemic, McCleskey won't get to showcase that speed at a pro day in front of NFL scouts. Tulane's pro day, like every other school's pro day, was canceled. So instead, the 5-foot-10, 175-pound receiver will have to do the next best thing: get someone to record him doing the 40-yard dash and measure him all the other typical pro day tests. For McCleskey, that will happen Friday on the campus of Nicholls State, where he will be joined by defensive lineman and Tulane teammate Mike Hinton, as well as Nicholls quarterback Chase Fourcade.

"It's going to be different because usually the scouts get to come and see it in person," McCleskey said. "Pro day was going to be big for me, so people could see my numbers. Hopefully with the video it will be the same." McCleskey, the son of former New Orleans Saints defensive back J.J. McCleskey, has been preparing for this moment while he also finishes up work on his master's degree. He's had to alter some of his normal workout routines since pretty much everything is shut down. "It's been really crazy," McCleskey said. "I've still been working out, but we just had to find different places." - New Orleans Times Picayune
