Claypool’s 40-yard dash time put him among some very elite company. Since the 2006 NFL Combine, Claypool joins future Hall of Fame WR Calvin Johnson as the only WR’s over 230-pounds to run that fast. When adding in the bench press numbers along with his measureables, the NFL is drooling over Claypool’s potential.
Not a bad comp đź‘Ś
Chase Claypool is the first WR to measure 6'4" / 235 lbs. and run a sub-4.45 40 at the combine since Megatron.

Any time you are compared to Megatron, you are in very good company. Claypool was asked to work out at tight end as well, but after putting up these kind of numbers, NFL teams will be falling in love with him even more.

Claypool’s impressive showing yesterday will most likely make him plenty of money, as he will for sure move up many teams’ draft boards. The NFL executives tend to fall in love with players who test out this well and Chase Claypool is the latest player to wow everyone while doing drills in Indy.
