Montez Sweat turns heads with 40-yard dash at 2019 NFL Combine

Montez Sweat was already a rising star in the 2019 NFL Draft with a strong Senior Bowl showing and a skill set that has scouts raving about the Mississippi State star. Now the defensive lineman can add “record setter” to his resume with his incredible time in the 40-yard dash at the 2019 NFL Combine.

On Sunday, Sweat ran a record-setting time of 4.41 seconds (for defensive linemen) in the 40-yard dash in front of NFL coaches, general managers, and scouts.

Sweat measures in at 6’6, 260 lbs. yet put up a time that bested every single wide receiver except for seven and every running back except for two.
