Ohio State Wide Receivers K.J. Hill and Austin Mack Feel Good About NFL Combine Showings, But Plan to Run 40-Yard Dash Again at Pro Day

According to the official times released by the NFL, Austin Mack was the fastest Ohio State wide receiver at this year’s NFL Scouting Combine – barely – outrunning K.J. Hill and Binjimen Victor by one-hundredth of a second in the 40-yard dash. Mack posted an official 40 time of 4.59 seconds, while Hill and Victor both clocked official times of 4.60.

Hill still thinks he’s faster.

“Man, Austin ain’t outrun me,” Hill said, laughing. “I look faster on TV anyways, so it’s probably his strides or something.”

In an interview with Eleven Warriors at the Midwest Sports Spectacular, where Hill and Mack were among several former Ohio State football players who participated in autograph signings on Saturday, Hill said he was told by NFL coaches that he was timed in the mid-4.
