Saturday saw the linebackers take the field. And Isaiah Simmons stole the show. The 6-4. 238-pound linebacker ran a ridiculous 4.39 40-yard dash. It was so stunning, Mike Mayock gasped and Paul Guenther burst into an uncontrollable fit of laughter.
The Raiders don’t need a linebacker. They need several linebackers. Simmons was already a top ten pick before his day at the combine. This just cements it.
Other top linebackers Kenneth Murray ran 4.52 40 and Patrick Queen ran a 4.50.
Murray hurt his ankle at the end of his 40-yard dash run, but is said to be ok and should be ready to perform at his pro day.
