Former LSU Tiger Aaron Ernest ‘would be fastest man in the NFL’

Aaron Ernest made a name for himself on the LSU track and field team as one of the most decorated sprinters in school history. Ernest, who sprinted for the Tigers from 2012-15, racked up 11 All-America honors in outdoor and indoor track.

Despite his track accolades, Ernest gave up a professional track career to train at Traction Sports Performance in Baton Rouge in hopes of making a 53-man NFL roster.

At LSU’s Pro Day in early April, he blazed through the 40-yard dash with times of 4.31 and 4.33 seconds. The 5-foot-11, 166-pound receiver did 12 reps in the bench press as well as a 37A1/2-inch vertical leap.
