When Andy Isabella’s 40-yard dash times first surfaced Saturday, the initial results seemed like mistakes.
The 4.56 and 4.46 marks are dream times for most sprinters, but for the University of Massachusetts product Isabella, something seemed off. As it turned out, the times actually were incorrect. Isabella ultimately ran a 4.31 – which tied him for the fastest time among all NFL combine participants Saturday – and that was no mistake. Defensive backs didn’t run Saturday, but no players who did were faster then Isabella.
Last year, only two receivers ran under 4.40. This year, there were seven, and Isabella tied Ohio State’s Parris Campbell for the top spot.
