Zamir White raises NFL draft stock in 40-yard dash

Georgia Bulldogs running back Zamir White finished as the seventh-fastest running back in the 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL combine.

Georgia Bulldogs running back Zamir White helped his NFL draft stock with an impressive 40-yard dash at the 2022 NFL combine. White is known as a bruising, tough-to-tackle running back, but he showed his speed at the combine.

White’s unofficial time of 4.47 was later officially timed as a 4.40. White finished as the seventh-fastest running back in the event, but was only 0.03 seconds off the fastest time for a running back.

White’s 40-yard dash time is surprisingly faster than James Cook’s time. Here’s a look at Zamir ‘Zeus’ White’s 40-yard dash at the NFL combine:

White is one of the top backs in the 2022 NFL draft. He still has work to do as a receiver, but he is not a fun guy to tackle. White ran for 25 touchdowns in three seasons with the Bulldogs.

White ended his career with a national championship, 856 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2021.

White’s other NFL combine results include a 33.5 inch vertical jump and the tied for best broad jump at 10 feet, 8 inches. Neither White nor Cook participated in the bench press.

Your nickname isn’t derived from the Greek God of Sky, Thunder and Lightning, but White’s is, and he’s showing us why here.
