At the 2009 NFL Combine, Darrius Heyward-Bey ran an official 4.3 flat.
In 2016, now 29, Heyward-Bey still shows those same wheels. Heck, maybe he’s gotten faster.
As ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports, the team has been using GPS technology to track speed and steps, a growing trend around the league. In its most practical form, it helps determine a player’s workload, if they’re doing too much and need their reps to be scaled back. But for fun, it can be used as a radar gun.
According to Arthur Moats, via Fowler, Heyward-Bey has clocked in at 25 miles per hour.
