Inspirational Shaquem Griffin blows away field in 40-yard dash at NFL Combine | Complete linebacker results

Shaquem Griffin sent the NFL Combine ablaze.

Griffin ran the 40-yard dash in 4.38 seconds, which is the fasted time by a linebacker since 2003. Only two other linebackers — Stanford's Jon Alston in 2005 (4.40) and UTEP's Thomas Howard in 2006 (4.44) — have been clocked at sub-4.5 in the last 15 years.

Even before that eye-popping time, Griffin was one of the best stories of the NFL Combine.
