Louisville offensive lineman Mekhi Becton is a massive individual. He can also run incredibly fast.
The 6-foot-7, 364-pound blocker tallied a 5.11 40-yard dash at the 2020 Scouting Combine, blowing the Internet’s mind in the process.

Seen by many as a first-round talent, Becton certainly did his draft stock some favors by putting up one of the faster 40-yard dash times among offensive linemen.
It appears Becton’s day of workouts at the combine may be over, but he’s already put on enough of a show:

Becton’s tape showcases his pure strength and his tenacity as a run blocker, but he also has some solid agility in pass protection. Even though many knew he was a solid athlete for such a hulking lineman, very few could have predicted he would run as fast as he did.
