Georgia DT Jordan Davis was the talk of the combine this weekend after running the 40-yard dash in 4.78 seconds.
Yes, you read that correctly. The 6’6″, 341 pound DT ran the 40-yard dash in less than 5 seconds with a 10-yard split of 1.68 seconds.

Social media had a field day commenting on the big man’s speed and you have to believe this is going to get his draft stock sky rocketing.

Sone perspective, a 4.82 40 is just as fast as a lot of NFL TEs, LBs, FBs, and probably all but MAYBE 2 or 3 QBs. 4.82 is moving! That’s potentially a game changer for someone 6’6” 341 lbs. Just think how much faster he’ll get if just got down to 315-320 lbs. Scouts consider that

That’s faster then 85% of the people in this comments. This is more impressive then any of the WR times. That is a massive human running very very fast.

While no one knows how his speed will translate to the NFL against offenses, one thing we can all agree on is that this big man can move. NFL team’s love their random stats from the combine so this no doubt will be brought up a million times leading up to the draft.
