Ranking the 10 Best NFL Scouting Combine Performances of All Time

What is in the water in Maryland??

This is the second big time player from the Terrapins who had a ridiculously good combine.

Finishing the last 20 yards of his 40 in 1.75 seconds means he went 23.4 miles per hour on the back half of his 40-yard dash.

At 210 pounds, posting the second fastest time in combine history by just 0.01 seconds despite weighing 13 pounds more than the combine record holder, Chris Johnson, was extremely impressive.

Even more impressive is his leaping ability. As a receiver, he'll be using it quite a bit.

When a guy is 6'1-5/8" and he can jump another 38.5", it shows that he can give his quarterback the ability to throw it above almost any defender in the NFL.

Out-running and out-jumping defenders is something that makes guys like the late Al Davis?who loved workout warriors?select players like Heyward-Bey in the top due to great performances like this one.
