One of the areas the Raiders could stand to upgrade this offseason is in the interior pass rush. So, for their purposes, they could be looking at those players with the best size/speed combo. If you’re around 300 pounds and can run like the wind, come on down.
Granted, that isn’t all there is to an interior rusher. There’s a whole hell of a lot more to it than that. But these events are about athleticism. Either you’ve got it, or you don’t. So, let’s start there.
And since defensive linemen usually only have to show their speed in the 5-10 yards between the line and the quarterback, we will add their 10-yard split times as well.
The best time among the 300-plus crew goes to Khalil Davis. Weighing in at 308 pounds, Davis posted a 4.75 40, with a 1.66 10-yard split — both tops among his weight class.
Others to put up impressive numbers for their size include 313-pound Carlos Davis with a 4.82 40 and 1.67 split, 304-pound Neville Gallimore with a 4.79 40 and 1.71 split, and 297-pound Malcolm Roach with a 4.84 40 and a 1.68 split.
Note that top DI prospect Javon Kinlaw didn’t do any drills at the combine, opting to perform at his South Carolina pro day instead.
