One of the biggest stories of the 2017 NFL Draft was University of Washington wide receiver John Ross. He became the fastest man ever in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine by running the 40-yard dash in 4.22 seconds. Friends, that is fast.
Of course, the wide receiver position in the sport of football isn’t about a footrace. Who gets to a point on the field the fastest isn’t what it’s about. It’s about catching and advancing the football on the field of play. It’s a lesson that has been learned countless times over the years (looking at you Al Davis, RIP).
