Louisiana-Monroe hybrid pass rusher Aaron Morgan conducted a private workout today for the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source close to the program with knowledge of the situation.
Morgan has recovered from a pulled hamstring that prevented him from running the 40-yard dash at his Pro Day workout.
At NFL teams' request, Morgan recently ran his time trial again at Speed Works and turned in a 4.74 clocking. It was recorded on a video. He also posted a 6.84 in the three-cone drill and a 4.21 in the 20-yard shuttle. Morgan is a sleeper who's gaining some buzz in NFL scouting circles.
Monroe is a 'tweener outside linebacker-defensive end who was named first-team All-Sun Belt Conference. And his impressive workout numbers stack up favorably with many of the top defensive end-linebacker draft prospects.
