VIDEO: NFL Draft Prospect Isaiah Simmons Shows off Speed in Foot Race With Clemson RB Travis Etienne
By Karl Rasmussen
Isaiah Simmons figures to be one of the first linebackers to hear his name called on draft day. The former Clemson Tiger is expected to go in the first round in April, and if there were any questions about his ability to turn on the jets, it's safe to say he dispelled them in this latest clip. He and Clemson running back Travis Etienne competed in a foot race, and they were deadlocked when they came to the finish line, both showcasing their blazing speed in the friendly competition.

Simmons will look to further improve his draft stock at the NFL Combine, but for now, this footage only stands to add to the intrigue surrounding the 6-4 linebacker.

While Etienne will be returning to Clemson for another go, he's expected to headline the class of running backs in next year's draft. Simmons matching him step for step in a foot race is certainly no easy feat.
