Evan Worthington’s ambitious goal at the NFL combine next week is flipping his reputation from under-the-radar to can’t-miss prospect.
The former Colorado safety is laser-focused on a breakthrough 40-yard dash time.
“4.39 seconds,” Worthington said. “That’s the ultimate goal for me.”
Don’t blink or you might miss the small fraternity of recent sub-4.4 safeties at the combine: Penn State’s Troy Apke (2018), Clemson’s T.J. Green (2016) and Mississippi State’s Justin Cox (2015). What makes Worthington think he’s next in line?
“I have the long strides for it and I feel like I’m fast enough,” Worthington said.
