The 2022 NFL Scouting Combine is underway in Indianapolis and there are plenty of Ohio State players being poked, prodded, and timed. Yesterday, Buckeye receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson had their turn to be put under the spotlight and they lit up the place, especially with their 40-times.
Olave originally put up a 4.26 time that was adjusted officially to 4.39, but Wilson put up an even faster time. We’ve got the video of Wilson for your craving and need for speed that you can watch thanks to the NFL’s official Twitter account.
Click below and watch Wilson blaze down the track for that holy grail of a sub 4.4 forty time.

What’s amazing is that not only can Wilson play on the outside with this speed, but he has the route running and burst to get free in the slot as well. We saw that in 2020 when he was OSU’s main inside receiver. That’s going to play awfully well with NFL scouts and executives.
