NFL Combine 2017 Notebook: Saturday's Record Breakers and Moneymakers

If you blinked on Saturday, you missed Washington wide receiver John Ross's combine record-setting 4.22-second 40-yard dash.

Ross earned some extra money in April's NFL draft with that sprint. But not as much as you may think. NFL executives knew he was fast. Most had him slated for the first round before he ran. Ross probably just guaranteed his earning potential.

Other players will be shooting up draft boards and tax brackets after Saturday's workouts and passing drills. It was a day of superlatives for smooth-throwing quarterbacks, blazing wide receivers and some of the most jaw-droppingly athletic tight ends the combine has ever seen.
