LSU's D.J. Chark runs fastest 40 among receivers at NFL combine

INDIANAPOLIS -- As of Saturday, D.J. Chark was the fastest player at the NFL combine.

The former LSU wide receiver ran the 40-yard dash in 4.34 seconds on Saturday, an official time that puts him atop the combine leaderboard.

Some other players will have a chance to run down Chark's time, particularly the defensive backs the run on Monday. Former LSU cornerback Donte Jackson is expected to have a blazing time, too.

But, Chark's impressive run on Saturday should help improve his stock for April's draft. The 6-foot-3, 199-pound Chark is likely a Day 2 pick, and although his production didn't stand out much in LSU's run-first offense, Chark's athleticism makes him a strong receiver prospect in the NFL.
