Sunday was yet another day in a solid chain of football news! Agility and speed tests were recorded for defensive linemen and linebackers, which should end up as the most scrutinized set of combine results by 49ers fans this cycle. Several things stood out, notably the 40 time for DT Quinnen Williams, who clocked a sub-4.9 second attempt. Obviously, the 40 yard dash means exceedingly little for defensive tackles, but it’s an impressive feat of athleticism nevertheless for the 300-plus pounder.
Nick Bosa put together an admirable combine, surpassing his brother’s 2016 results in the 40-yard dash, 10-yard split, 20-yard shuttle, and bench press, but falling short by a wide margin in the 3-cone drill.
