All values from Pro Day, |
On the South Carolina Pro Day, Byrd only ran the 40 yard dash once, since his left calf muscle tightened up on him. Byrd, having a track & field background was able to put up impress numbers, and did the short shuttle in 4.03 seconds, the three-cone in 6.6 seconds and the 60-yard long shuttle in 10.90 seconds. This time is incredible and in fact was faster than any other time posted at the 2015 scouting combine. [2]
Carolina Panthers
On May 8, 2015, Byrd was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Carolina Panthers. On September 5, 2015, he was released by the Panthers.[3] On September 7, 2015, Byrd was signed to the Panthers' practice squad.[4]
