Tennessee v Georgia

Top-rated safety Eric Berry of Tennessee was working out at his Pro Day, when it came to an unexpected end. Berry’s Pro Day was cut short due to sprained toe during his first position drill of the day.

According to Steve Wyche of NFL Network, Berry pulled up holding his foot after he planted it to change direction during drills. Berry told Wyche that he hurt his foot during his first rep and after he still didn’t feel good following the second repetition, he decided to shut it down. Berry later came out from the training room in sneakers with a noticeable limp.

The Tennessee safety does not believe this injury will affect his status with any of the NFL teams.

Berry is widely considered the top safety in this year’s draft class, with his only competition being Earl Thomas of Texas. The injury should not cause Berry to fall in the draft and he will still be projected as a top five pick.
