John Ross Breaks NFL Combine Record with 4.22 Second 40-Yard Dash

The next closest wide receiver today clocked in at 4.31, or 0.09 seconds more. In 40-yard dash time, that's like three years.

Damn. Just, damn. We all knew that former University of Washington wide receiver John Ross could melt the soles off his shoes with his speed, but now he's gone and cemented himself in the annals of hella fastness. His 4.22 40-yard dash time was enough to beat out Chris Johnson's record of 4.24—with a little bit of padding to boot.

This is what Johnson had to say about the situation:

Yeah, you right. As for the rest of Ross' competition, the next closest wide receiver today was Curtis Samuel, clocking in at 4.31, or 0.09 seconds more. In 40-yard dash time, that's like three years. I wonder if the Browns are eying him…
