FLORIDA STATE DEFENSIVE tackle Braden Fiske couldn't hide his excitement.

The 6-foot-4, 290-pounder had just recorded the fastest 40 time for his position group at this year's NFL combine -- a blazing 4.78 second run that left Fiske so impressed, he couldn't help but belt out an audible "Oh yeah!" upon crossing the finish line for everyone watching at home to hear.

Fiske's satisfaction with his 40 time is nothing new to veteran combine watchers who have witnessed a generation of players celebrating great performances in one of the event's legacy drills, which now includes Texas wideout Xavier Worthy's record-breaking run on Saturday.
