Tennessee State outside linebacker Sidney Tarver had a strong Pro Day workout as he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.65 to 4.68 seconds, according to an NFL source who attended the workout.

The 6-foot-3, 236-pounder registered a 32-inch vertical leap, a 10-6 broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 23 times.

Tarver, who has an 81 7/8 wingspan and 10 1/8 hands, worked out in chilly, wet conditions.

NFL teams attending the workout included the Baltimore Ravens, Chicago Bears, New York Giants, Cleveland Browns, Houston Texans, Oakland Raiders, Tennessee Titans, San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers and the Denver Broncos.

Tarver had a 4.24 20-yard shuttle, a 7.30 L-drill and an 11.7 60-yard shuttle, excelling in his linebacker drills.

Last season, he started every game and had 62 tackles, 7 1/2 for losses, 3 1/2 sacks, a pass deflection and two quarterback hurrries.

At TSU, he lined up at several positions and was utilized as a 4-3 outside linebacker and a 4-3 defensive end.
