At the NFL Combine in Indianapolis last month, Baylor cornerback Kalon “Boogie” Barnes ran a 4.23 40-yard dash. That was the fastest time by a defensive back in the NFL Network era and one one-hundredth of a second behind John Ross, who set the combine record at 4.22 in 2017.
It’s no surprise that Barnes ran well. The 5-11, 183-pound cornerback was a member of Baylor’s track team and holds the Texas high-school record in the 100-meter dash at 10.22 seconds.
According to Aaron Wilson, the 49ers are set to hold a Zoom meeting with Barnes.
