Chris Jones ran most embarrassing 40-yard dash at NFL combineHE’S the defensive tackle with the most offensive tackle at the NFL Combine.
Mississippi State lineman Chris Jones was determined to leave nothing to chance at the annual testing of college footballers hopeful of progressing to NFL ranks.
But his job interview couldn’t have gone any worse in the 40-yard dash when something popped out of his pants and caused him to fall flat on his face.
You can see vision of the incident here (WARNING: graphic content) but if you’d prefer not to, think Matt Shirvington running the 100m — only worse.
When Jones went down, NFL Network host Rich Eisen was heard saying when defensive linemen fall, they fall “hard and long”.
“Wow,” another commentator said. “That slide is now illegal in Major League Baseball.”
US sport websites also had a field day with the surprise appearance.
“Imagine being at the biggest job interview of your life and your d*** just, you know, popping out,” SB Nation’s Jacob Price wrote. “This is your new nightmare. You’ll never sleep soundly again because you’re going to spend the rest of your life terrified that your dangalang is going to peek its head around the corner at a job interview. Sorry.”
