Q&A: Chris Godwin discusses breakout NFL Combine, Pro Day focus

Year after year, a cluster of prospects either dramatically boost or hamper their stock at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Penn State wide receiver Chris Godwin is among the former.

Godwin, who declared for the NFL Draft after his junior season at Penn State, ran a 4.22 40-yard dash over the weekend in Indianapolis.

The performance put Godwin on the national radar, moving him up from a third-round projection to the first or second round by some experts. He shocked many — but did he surprise himself?

In a phone interview with The Centre Daily Times, Godwin — who won’t be running the 40-yard dash at March 16’s Penn State Pro Day — reflected on the NFL Combine and what it might mean for him moving forward.
