Derek Stingley Jr. won’t be on the field in Indianapolis on Sunday with the other defensive backs at the NFL Scouting Combine. The LSU cornerback is still coming back from a torn ligament in his left foot that required surgery in September.
Stingley is a fascinating prospect. He was widely considered the best cornerback in this year’s drafts by the gurus, but has fallen down the board lately and is rated behindby most now. It is not about Stingley’s talent, but about his availability. The 20-year-old said the initial recovery timeline was four-to-six months. Stingley plans on participating in LSU’s pro day on April 6.
