2017 NFL Combine: Best Performance in Each Drill

1 of 7

Now that the NFL Scouting Combine is over, we can take a look back at some of the most impressive performances in each drill from Indianapolis.

Scouts and fans of the NFL draft paid close attention to the NFL Scouting Combine this past weekend, and it was definitely one for the ages. There were some eye-opening performances from some big names, and even a record-breaking performance in the 40-yard dash.

A handful of prospects, including Connecticut’s Obi Melifonwu and Wisconsin’s T.J. Watt, were able to turn some heads in Indianapolis and have increased their draft stock in a big way. However, with over 300 prospects working out this weekend, let’s take a look at the best overall performances in each drill.

40-Yard Dash: John Ross (4.22 seconds)

There are few workouts that get as hyped up as the 40-yard dash, with people wondering every year whether or not someone can break Chris Johnson’s record. Well, that record was finally broken this weekend by former Washington Huskies receiver John Ross.

Ross showcased blazing speed this past season for the Huskies, but people were still surprised by his 40-yard dash time of 4.22 seconds, breaking CJ2K’s record.

The former Huskies receiver was already in the discussion as a first-round pick, but this performance definitely helped him solidify that status. He’s an explosive deep threat who has drawn comparisons to the likes of DeSean Jackson and Tyreek Hill.

There are some concerns about Ross’ injury history, but with blazing speed like this, teams are going to want to take a chance on him.

Honorable Mention: Jalen Myrick (4.28 seconds)
