INDIANAPOLIS — It's been called a good year for defensive linemen and edge-rushers since evaluators started looking at the 2019 draft class in August 2018, but following an epic day of workouts for the group at the NFL Scouting Combine, it's fair to call this one of the best groups ever.
Mississippi State's Montez Sweat headlines that group after his show-stealing performance.
The modern defensive lineman record for fastest time in the 40-yard dash now belongs to Sweat after the senior pass-rusher posted a blazing time of 4.41 seconds in the sprint. That's not only fast for a defensive lineman; it's just plain fast.
