INDIANAPOLIS -- As they did in 2016, the defensive backs closed out this year's NFL scouting combine with a double-take-worthy presentation of speed.
Of the 49 defensive backs who chose to run inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Monday, 22 blistered to at least one 40 clocked under 4.5 seconds. Minnesota cornerback Jalen Myrick led the way at 4.28, followed by UCLA cornerback Fabian Moreau (4.35) and Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore (4.36).
Myrick's time tied the fastest by a defensive back since 2006. Thanks to Myrick and new 40-yard record holder John Ross, this was the first time in the past 12 combines that two players broke 4.
