The NFL’s annual Scouting Combine is officially underway in Indianapolis, Indiana. So far, we have a solid understanding of the top incoming rookies … or do we? Every year, under-the-radar players show up to the Combine and stun everyone by testing off the charts. As a result, the stocks of these prospects, who are often not projected to be a Day 1 pick, suddenly rise at a meteoric rate.
A decade before the Tennessee Titans drafted current back-to-back rushing champion, Derrick Henry, 45th overall in the 2016 NFL Draft, they selected a 6’1″ 235 lbs running back 45th overall out of USC, LenDale White. Two years later in 2008, the Titans selected running back Chris Johnson 24th overall out of East Carolina, on the heels of his 4.25 40-yard fall time at the NFL Combine.
A former star running back has been accused of a murder-for-hire incident and drug trafficking involvement.
The Lions traveled to Oakland in their last season at the Colosseum. The plan was to use an Air-Raid offense (like Arizona’s) to sink the Raiders’ ship in the Black Hole for one last time. Instead, Jon Gruden utilized Derek Carr to do exactly what Matthew Stafford was supposed to do- raid the secondary and win the game.
As we approach the 2019 NFL Scouting Combine, many people are enthralled in the top 40-yard dash times. I’m here to tell you not to be deceived by the top 40 times. When it comes to players who ran the fastest 40-yard dash in Combine history, many of them had unsuccessful careers. We’re going to take a look at the top 10 fastest 40-yard dash times in Combine history.
