There is some speed at receiver in this draft. Which is good because the Raiders are looking for some. Desperately in fact. The expected fastest receiver was Henry Ruggs III and he didn’t disappoint, running a combine best 4.27 40-yard dash.
There were five others who put in times under 4.4. They were Quez Watkins (4.35), Denzel Mims (4.38), Darnell Mooney (4.38), Devin Duvernay (4.39), and Antonio Gibson (4.39).
The six sub-4.4 40-yard dashes by wide receivers is the second most of any combine the past 13 years. Only 2019 had more (7).
Other notable sub-4.5 times include Justin Jefferson (4.43), Jerry Jeudy (4.45), and Jalen Reagor (4.47). CeeDee Lamb ran a 4.5 flat.
