It seems like we see an Ohio State wide receiver lay down some blazing fast 40-yard times at the NFL Combine almost yearly as of late. In fact, all three taking part last year had three of the fastest times of all the wideouts taking part.
So, of course you had to wonder what the trio of Austin Mack, K.J. Hill, and Binjimen Victor would do at this year’s NFL Combine.
Well, we’re here to report the video and times aren’t as impressive as they have been. All three wide-receivers didn’t come close to the fastest times posted, and all were right around the 4.60 time — one that won’t exactly turn heads of NFL scouts and suits.
Of course, being a wide receiver is much more than how fast you are, but perhaps no other drill at the combine can make a player more money than setting the 40-track on fire.
Here’s video of all three OSU wide-receivers and their subsequent times. First up, Austin Mack he officially clocked in at 4.59.
Get after it @Austin__Mack11 💪

Next, proof that catching passes is more than running away from opponents, Ohio State’s all-time leader in receptions K.J. Hill laid down a time of 4.60.

And lastly, here’s Binjimen Victor, whose fastest time was also officially 4.60.

Now, when you put the tape on, these guys seem to be football fast, and especially in the case of K.J. Hill, the route running is excellent. The three did themselves no favors with the straight-line speed test today, but all will still get an opportunity to show what they can do with an NFL team down the line.
