While many NFL scouts attended Nebraska's pro day to see former Cornhuskers defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, safety Larry Asante remains an attractive option for the Chicago Bears in the third or possibly fourth round.
According to Omaha.com, Asante ran a 4.55 40-yard dash on Thursday, considerably better then his official 4.63 time at the NFL Combine last month.
"They (scouts) told me they wanted to see me in the 4.5 range," Asante told the Web site, "and that's what they got.'
The Web site estimated that 24 NFL scouts were in attendance on Thursday in Lincoln.
