STILLWATER, Okla. (AP)\u2014A return to his home turf didn\u2019t make Oklahoma
\nState<\/a> running back Kendall Hunter any faster.<\/p>\n

Hunter had hoped to improve his draft stock at the school\u2019s pro day
\nWednesday with a quicker time in the 40-yard dash than the 4.53 seconds he
\nrecorded at the NFL combine.<\/p>\n

Instead, he ended up in the 4.5-second range again while running with and
\nagainst the wind on the Boone Pickens Stadium turf. He seemed disappointed, but
\nan Atlanta Falcons<\/a> scout told him it was a good performance considering the
\nchilly, windy conditions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did pretty good overall at the combine, but I wanted to knock the 40
\ntime down because I knew I could do better than what I did, so I came here and
\nran it,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cI feel like I ran pretty well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter also went through lengthy position drills for scouts, running toss
\nsweeps, catching passes out of the backfield and even fielding kicks from Groza
\nAward winner Dan Bailey.<\/p>\n

Hunter, an All-American who ran for 1,548 yards and 16 touchdowns last
\nseason, said he wanted \u201cjust to show them in person my speed, my explosiveness,
\nhow I can catch the ball and field punts and catch kick returns and just do
\neverything.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m able to not just run the ball,\u201d Hunter said. \u201cI\u2019m just out there
\nshowing them everything that I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hunter was one of 15 players who worked out for 22 NFL scouts. Defensive
\ntackle Shane Jarka provided one of the highlights with a personal-best 34 lifts
\nof a 225-pound weight on the bench press.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope that just gets a few looks, kind of gets me on the radar and then
\nhopefully later on once my knee gets 100 percent\u2014which I\u2019m really close to
\nbeing 100 percent\u2014then I can go out there and get a better look,\u201d said Jarka,
\nwho didn\u2019t participate in the other drills.<\/p>\n

Receiver Bo Bowling had the best vertical jump at 35 1\/2 inches while safety
\nLucien Antoine, who finished his Oklahoma State career in 2009, had the best
\nbroad jump at 10 feet.<\/p>\n

Despite canceling his second attempt at his 40-yard dash because of a
\nstrained hamstring, linebacker Orie Lemon filled in as the quarterback when
\nHunter and Bowling did their passing drills.<\/p>\n

Bailey finished the session with a series of kicks, the last one good from
\n55 yards out. He was recognized as college football\u2019s top kicker last season
\nafter making 27 of 31 field goal tries, including three from at least 50 yards
\nout.<\/p>\n

\u201cConsistency is probably the main thing. You can do it all year, but you\u2019ve
\ngot to come out here and perform, too,\u201d Bailey said. \u201cKickoffs are important,
\ntoo. Anybody can kick field goals, so you\u2019ve got to be able to kick off as
\nwell.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p>\n
