NORMAN — Linebacker Tom Wort and defensive end David King strained hamstrings on each of their second 40-yard dash attempts Wednesday.

Wort ran a 4.78 at last month’s NFL Scouting Combine, and improved that time to 4.75 on his first attempt Wednesday.

“It’s just something silly. I’ve never hurt a hamstring, and to do it today … I’m a little frustrated about that,” said Wort, who also improved his number of bench press reps from 21 at the combine to 25 Wednesday.

King ran a 4.72 on his first 40-yard dash attempt, and tied for the most bench press reps with 27.

“It’s a little stiff,” King said of the hamstring. “I’ll be fine in a week or so.”

  So Tom Wort is slower than the defensive end? No wonder Stoops reduced the role of the linebackers last season. And BOTH guys strain their hamstrings? C'mon, what kind of conditioning are they doing in Norman?
