Eastern Washington running back Taiwan Jones confirmed on the NFL Draft Countdown podcast Tuesday night that he wouldn't be able to participate in the 40-yard dash at the combine.
This isn't good news for Jones. His game is based on speed and explosion and he won't be able to display that at the combine.
Jones did say he would do interviews with teams and participate in the bench press.
