OSU recently had it's Pro Day. Hardin reportedly ran a 4.38 40.

CORVALLIS – Former Oregon State cornerback Brandon Hardin knows what it’s like to deal with disappointments.

A shoulder injury in fall camp forced Hardin to miss the 2011 season, the school’s appeal for a medical redshirt was denied, and he did not receive an invitation to the NFL combine last month in Indianapolis.

But opportunity arrived for Hardin and several of his former teammates Friday during OSU’s pro day at the Truax Center.

“I missed all season unfortunately and I didn’t get a combine invite, so that was my combine,” Hardin said of pro day. “This was my chance to turn some heads, a chance to show the scouts that I deserved to be at the combine.”

A 4.38 time in the 40-yard dash likely turned some heads. Hardin had 24 reps at 225 pounds in the bench press, and participated in several football-related drills.

“I had very high expectations of myself,” said Hardin, a two-year starter for the Beavers. “There were a couple numbers off that I could have hit better, hundredths of a second, but the big one was the 40. I ran a 4.38, that’s all that mattered.”

Hardin, who played in the East-West Shrine game in January, provided more evidence that his left shoulder is completely healed.

At 6-foot-2, 215 pounds, Hardin is a big corner who could move to safety in the NFL.
He received favorable comments Friday from scouts.

“They said I did a great job,” Hardin said. “I blew them away with my 40. They knew I was fast, but this was the first time they had a real solid time on me.”
