LOOK: Dare Rosenthal official 40-time at NFL Scouting Combine released
Kentucky’s Dare Rosenthal already knew he had one of the fastest unofficial 40-times by any offensive lineman at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine. Earlier on Friday night, he ran a 4.93 unofficial 40-yard dash time. Now, the official results are in and it turns out his time was a 4.88, the fastest of any offensive lineman at the event.
Earlier in the evening on his first attempt, Rosenthal ran an unofficial 4.99 40-yard dash time, so the former Wildcat has been putting on a show.
Check out how his time ranks among other offensive linemen at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine below.
Rosenthal started 12 of Kentucky’s 13 games at left tackle this season. His impressive play caught the eye of PFF, who named him to their All-SEC third team. He originally started his college football career with the LSU Tigers, where he won a national championship during the 2019-2020 season.
The former Kentucky and LSU product just proved he’s one of the most athletic offensive linemen in the 2022 draft class with his impressive time tonight.
Rosenthal has slimmed up recently
Rosenthal has slimmed up recently, as his Kentucky bio recently lists him at 6-foot-7, 327 pounds. His profile on NFL.com currently lists him at 290 pounds, which is a pretty drastic weight drop. Slimming up seems to have paid off for the former Kentucky star and he proved it tonight with his blazing 40-time.
Coming out of high school, Rosenthal was actually the top-rated defensive tackle prospect in the state of Louisiana.
The offensive linemen in the 2022 draft class are incredibly fast. This year, the class has had 12 offensive linemen run a sub 5.00 40-yard dash, the highest number since 2003 by a wide margin. That’s a pretty impressive stat and it shows you just how incredibly athletic the players are in today’s game.
