Chiefs DT Chris Jones had most awkward reason ever for horrendous 40-yard dash at 2016 NFL Combine
Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is one of the best defensive tacklers in the NFL. He just became a two-time Super Bowl champion with the Chiefs' recent Super Bowl victory over the Philadelphia Eagles a few weeks ago.
The 2016 second-round pick out of Mississippi had a rather interesting NFL combine experience.
As he ran the 40-yard dash, he had an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction. Due to his tight spandex he was wearing, part of his privates came out as he was running the 40-yard dash.
In an interview with Sports Illustrated back in 2017, Jones bluntly stated what happened.
He said his private parts came out, and the tights that he was wearing were more like boxers.
Jones said:
“My d*** came out... I looked down, and the hummer is out. I try to cover it up. I'm thinking to myself, ‘Little kids are watching.’ I take a dive and try to cover it up. I’m thinking to myself, ‘How long was this thing out?' Those black tights, they weren’t really tights. They were boxers. I’m probably the embarrassment king."

The slip-up didn't cause Jones to slip in the draft. He was selected early in the second-round with pick number 37 overall. He's made four straight Pro Bowls and has been named to four All-Pros. In seven seasons, he has 65 sacks, 12 forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, two interceptions, and 33 pass defelctions.
When is the 2023 NFL combine?
Each year, the NFL combine produces funny and memorable moments.
This year's combine, which will be held at the Lucas Oil Stadium, like every year, will begin on April 27 and will conclude two days later on the 29th. The combine will be held in Kansas City this year and will feature 300+ prospects.
There will be a total of 260 picks in this year's draft over the course of seven rounds.
