Slow going

INDIANAPOLIS--Former Gophers running back Gary Russell saw his draft stock plummet Sunday, when he turned in times of 4.8 and 4.84 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine.

Russell, who had joked about not wanting to turn in a time like former Ohio State Maurice Clarett did a couple of years ago, did even worse. Clarett’s times were 4.72 and 4.82.
