More speed on the edge! Dwight Freeney’s NFL resume speaks for itself, but his combine numbers are what started the epic career. Freeney was a standout back at the 2002 festivities, running a 4.48 in the 40-yard dash while leaping to a 37-inch vertical. At only 6-1, the leverage he can create against offensive linemen negated such height-shaming fodder. A lot of folks might shout, “Where’s Mike Mamula?!” with this ranking, but it’s hard to pass on Freeney (literally).
