Rashod Bateman has some bad news for anyone who thinks he’s slow

Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman has a little something for anyone who questions his speed

Minnesota wide receiver Rashod Bateman is one of the top pass-catching prospects in the 2021 NFL draft class, but there might be a handful of doubters who think he lacks elite top-end speed.

Bateman is hoping to put those questions to rest with a tweet he posted Saturday, claiming he ran a sub-4.4 40-yard dash while training at EXOS.

Listed at 6-2, 210 pounds, Bateman already had an enticing blend of size, athleticism and physicality. If he’s running in the 4.3s at his size, it could vault him up the draft board considerably, with the draft just a couple of months away.
