After just one day, Nolan Smith is the early front-runner for the most impressive athlete at this year's NFL combine in Indianapolis. The former University of Georgia outside linebacker ran a 4.39 in the 40-yard dash Thursday.
It was the first time that scouts have seen Smith on a field since October—when he tore his pectoral muscle in a game against the Florida Gators—and he made quite the impression on those in attendance, setting a blazing pace at 6'2", 238 pounds. His 40 time was the best of the day.
