The 2020 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis has already produced a few standout performances. Punter Michael Turk went viral earlier this week after ripping off 25 reps on the bench press, shattering combine records for a punter. Former Alabama star Henry Ruggs III posted one of the fastest 40-yard dash times in combine history, clocking in at 4.27 seconds, placing him in a tie for sixth overall. Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb wowed viewers with a jaw-dropping spinning catch that you absolutely need to see in slow-motion.
Louisville offensive lineman Mekhi Becton, however, may up just one-upped every other prospect in Indy with a show-stopping 40. Becton, who stands 6-foot-7 and weighed in at 364 pounds is the biggest athlete at the combine, but he posted the fifth-fastest 40 time by an offensive lineman with a blazing 5.11. That’s only a tenth slower than quarterback Jake Fromm, who weighs 145 pounds less.
Louisville OL Mekhi Becton just ran a 5.11u 40-yard dash.

Becton may be the biggest guy around, but he’s in phenomenal shape.
FWIW: Louisville’s 6-foot-7, 364-pound OT Mekhi Becton, the largest player at this week’s Combine in Indianapolis, got measured with a mere 17 percent body fat.
