Running the 40-yard dash at the combine under 4.4 seconds is extremely impressive, but running at or below a 4.2 is other worldly.
John Ross, the wide receiver out of Washington, ran a 4.22 in the 2017 NFL Combine. He was then drafted No. 9 overall to the Cincinnati Bengals.
Completing the drill at that pace could cement Ruggs’ name in NFL history, as well as help him move up in the draft.
He is currently considered a mid-to-late first-round pick, with Jerry Jeudy and CeeDee Lamb considered to be the top-tw receivers in the draft. However, an impressive combine from Ruggs, paired with his intense speed, could land him inside the top-15.
The NFL Combine is set to kickoff on Feb. 23 in Indianapolis where 10 Alabama players landed invites.
