Xavier Worthy runs blazing 4.22 second 40-yard dash
Former Texas receiver Xavier Worthy turned in a blistering 4.25 second time in the 40-yard dash, Saturday, at the NFL Combine. And then he bettered it, with a combine tying the combine record of 4.22.
And folks, it gets better. The official time came along several minutes later. Worthy ran a 4.21. He owns the combine record.
“Crazy,” a still breathless Worthy told NFL Network. “I watched the combine my whole life, as a kid, I never thought I could be on the same stage and do that.”
Worthy appeared to have tied a record established by former Washington receiver John Ross, who ran his 4.22 at the 2017 combine. The 40 helped vault him to the ninth pick of the draft that year.
