A projected late first round pick, Ross' 40 time likely assures he'll go in the first round. He did come up with cramps after the run, but he has the record for time being.
Oh by the way, Ross said his fastest time before this was a 4.3. Ross wasn't wearing Adidas cleats, so he isn't eligible for that island sadly.
