INDIANAPOLIS -- Clemson's do-it-all defender Isaiah Simmons was the brightest star of the night Saturday at the NFL's scouting combine.
Simmons, who lined up almost everywhere at some point in the Clemson defense, was put with the linebackers in the on-field workouts for the combine. And he blistered the turf inside Lucas Oil Stadium with, at 6-foot-3u215d tall and 238 pounds, a 4.39 clocking in the 40-yard dash.
It was the second-fastest 40 time for a linebacker at the combine since 2006, behind only Shaquem Griffin, who ran a 4.38 at the 2018 combine. Simmons, however, weighed in 11 pounds heavier and is 3u215d taller than Griffin was at the combine.
