Youngstown running back Jaleel McLaughlin boosts draft stock

Jaleel McLaughlin, a running back out of Youngstown State in Ohio, had a strong performance last month at the team’s pro day and has improved his draft stock in the offseason.

The muscular McLaughlin ran a 4.44 40 time and was nearly 10 pounds over his playing weight last season, according to the Pro Football Network. It’s an impressive number for the two-year Penguins starter, who transferred there from Notre Dame College (D2) prior to his junior season.

In January, Johnson played for Team Aina at the Hula Bowl in Orlando. He checked in at nearly 5’8, 187-pounds with a 7248 wingspan, 3038 arm length and 858 hand size.
