The offensive players have run the 40 yard dash at the NFL scouting combine, and Maryland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey gets the early nod as fastest available player with a 4.30 time. There were a few unofficial sub-4.3 times, but according to the NFL's official measurments, 4.3 was the fastest. An interesting note - one of the knocks on Heyward-Bey wsa his ability to separate. For now that 4.30 time should put some naysayers to rest. By the way - we here at Draft IQ think 40 times are completely overrated. Players don't run them in pads for one - and the list of top NFL guys with poor 40 times is a long one. Anquan Boldin ran in the 4.7 range. Brandon Marshall a 4.6. Jerry Rice - also in the 4.7's. It is entertaining to see five NFL Network analysts break down 40 yard dashes for hours on end. Welcome to the combine!
