Michigan's DJ Turner runs 4th-fastest 40 at NFL combine since '03

INDIANAPOLIS -- Michigan cornerback DJ Turner put himself on one of history's shortest lists at the NFL's scouting combine on Friday, running the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.26 seconds at Lucas Oil Stadium.

It is the fourth-fastest time in the 40 at the combine since 2003, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

Wide receiver John Ross' time of 4.22 seconds at the 2017 combine is considered the fastest on record. Minnesota Vikings cornerback Kalon Barnes ran a 4.23 at the combine last year.

Turner, a two-year starter for the Wolverines, was the fastest player in the first of two groups of defensive backs who participated in the on-field workouts Friday.
