Let’s get one thing straight right away: Xavier Worthy can absolutely fly.
The Texas WR’s record-breaking 40-yard dash run was by far the most exciting part of the on-field portion of the Combine, a rare moment when the context of football didn’t matter compared to the pure athleticism on display.
At least one or two players every year come into Indianapolis with plans to break John Ross’ 2014 4.22-second record. This year, it was Worthy and Clemson CB Nate Wiggins, whose 4.28-second run on Friday was the only other time under 4.3 all week.
