NFL Combine: Duvernay posts 5th fastest 40 time for wide receiver

Texas Longhorns wide receiver got his opportunity to run his 40-yard dash and posted the fifth-fastest time by a wide out this year.

The NFL Combine has finally arrived to the workout portion. On Thursday the quarterbacks, tight ends and wide receivers were on full display. Texas wide out Devin Duvernay brought a lot of eyes when he ran his 40-yard dash. In his first attempt, Duv ran it in 4.40 seconds. His second attempt beat that mark by just .01 seconds for an official time of 4.39 seconds. After his group, Duvernay was the fastest of the wide receivers.

Duvernay ended the night with the fifth-fastest of all receivers. Not a bad way to start off the combine, unfortunately his running mate Collin Johnson did not run as he is nursing a hip flexor injury.
