Alabama Football: Henry Ruggs III to the Raiders in the first-round

Henry Ruggs is one of the fastest Alabama football players in history and very nearly broke the combine record 40 time. He is going to be part of the next generation of NFL wideout in the mold of super bowl winning WR Tyreek Hill.

Ruggs was very vocal about his intent to break John Ross’s combine record 4.22 40 yard dash time. He came very close posting a 4.27. Many scouts were skeptical that he could actually post a time that fast, so his stock skyrocketed. Some analysts believed he would end up as the first WR off the board and they were proven correct.
