Apparently Josh Haldi wasn’t the only one impressed with his 40-yard dash time at the NFL combine.

After Haldi ran a 4.69, the Toledo Blade reported that the senior NIU quarterback could end up being a late-round pick as a run-support safety.

Haldi just laughed and said it was the first he had heard of that possibility.

Haldi’s running and lifting drills ended Friday, but he will leave the Indianapolis combine today after throwing to linebackers.

“You feel a lot better Sunday night after doing well,” Haldi said Monday. “I get another chance [Tuesday] in showcasing what I can do to the coaches, but it should be a pretty easy day.”

The NIU quarterback’s time was quicker than fellow MAC quarterback and possible first-round NFL draft pick Charlie Frye, who ran a 4.88.

Haldi’s next move will be to workout March 7 at the NIU Pro Day in DeKalb. Then, he waits.

“I did as well as I could hope for,” Haldi said. “I feel really good about my workout. Now we’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the next few months.”

The only other Huskie at the combine was receiver Dan Sheldon, who had a bittersweet weekend.

While being thrown to by quarterbacks on Friday, Sheldon aggravated a collar bone injury he sustained during the Dec. 30 Silicon Valley Football Classic.

I was going for a deep route and extended too far and went down on the hard surface,” Sheldon said. “After I did it, I ended up catching another deep route just to prove I was all right, but it got worse and the coaches told me not to risk it.”

Sheldon suffered a strain on his left shoulder but hopes to be healthy enough to work out at the NIU Pro Day.

Each NFL team is allowed 15-minute interviews with 60 players. Sheldon was chosen for an interview by only the Chicago Bears after his 4.46 40-yard dash time.

“I had a lot of good personal meetings with coaches and got a good feel as to who’s interested,” said Sheldon, who, at 5-foot-8, was the shortest receiver at the combine. “The injury was kind of a bummer, but all in all, I got to run and show that I can recover quick. I think the scouts were pretty satisfied with that.”

After fully healing, Sheldon said he hopes to run a better time in front of scouts.

“I was hoping to run a better time,” Sheldon said, “but I’m hoping they’ll take into account that I only had two weeks of training.”

After showing off their skills, both former NIU players will now continue to train and hope for the best.

“At this point, all you can do is just train and work out,” Haldi said. “It only takes one team, and hopefully one of the 32 works out.”
