Tyquan Thornton Leads Fast Group Of WR 40 Times
3 years agoBaylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton led all players at his position on Thursday by clocking an unofficial 4.21-second 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. That time would have set a record for the combine, but his official time was later determined to be 4.28, which was the fastest of the day. In all, eight receivers had sub-4.4-second showings, which tied for the most by the position at the combine in any year since 2006. Tennessee's Velus Jones Jr. had the second-fastest time at 4.3 seconds. Memphis wideout Calvin Austin III clocked in at 4.32 seconds. SMU's Danny Gray (4.33 second), Rutgers' Bo Melton (4.34), North Dakota State's Christian Watson (4.36), Ohio State's Garrett Wilson (4.38) and Ohio State's Chris Olave were the others to break the 4.4-second mark.
