Derrick Henry Runs Impressive 40-Yard Dash At Combine

Clemson CB Mackensie Alexander hasn’t done a single drill yet, but he’s already won one title at the NFL Scouting Combine: best interview. At almost 6-3 and 247 pounds, Henry clocked in with an impressive 4.54 40-yard dash, while tying for the second-best broad jump (10 feet 10 inches) and the fifth-best vertical (37 inches). Pure speed. It was on display at the combine, as he blazed through the forty yard dash to the tune of 4.29 seconds.

“I’ve heard safety, Mike, Sam, Will, inside backer – some teams joked at running back”, Jack said.

A pair of Clemson defensive ends – Kevin Dodd and Shaq Lawson – met the media Friday and said they’re up to the challenge of sacking quarterbacks at the next level. They might find one among the NFL Draft 2016 prospects.

Carl Nassib – He isn’t being talked about among the top edge rushers in the draft (although I believe he should be), Ryan Nassib’s bigger younger brother was the most productive pass rusher in the country, and notched more than a sack a game.

He is a patient runner, who knows went to accelerate and showcases good vision, which makes him a good fit in a zone scheme, specifically in the Ravens scheme. There’s nobody who is more dedicated than me and who is more of a competitor than me. “I’m fast too”, he said.
