Washington wide receiver John Ross unofficially broke Chris Johnson’s NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash by posting a 4.22, which is .02 seconds faster than the long-standing mark. The time is yet to be confirmed and, in classic combine fashion, there’s much intrigue over the actual official clocking.
Scout in back of me had 4.21 on John Ross first run. #NFLCombine

Me: 4.25
Scout: 4.21@nflnetwork: 4.22
Any way you slice it = fast
Sounds like some NFL front office is about to land itself a speedy wide receiver. That rarely happens!
In all seriousness, Ross’ sprint is quite impressive. Even more so when one considers that his claims of suffering a cramp during the event. And a hurt shoulder.
4.22 for John Ross with a torn up shoulder.

One has to think he’d have run a 3.18 if totally healthy. Why won’t he be the first pick in the upcoming draft?
