Baylor WR Tyquan Thornton Breaks NFL Combine Record With 4.21-Second 40

Whatever they're putting in the water in Indianapolis, one thing is certain: this year's wide receiver class is fast.

Not long after Ohio State wideout Chris Olave clocked an unofficial 4.26-second 40-yard dash time, Baylor wide receiver Tyquan Thornton one-upped him but logging an unofficial 4.21-second sprint. If made official, it would be the fastest 40-yard dash in the history of the NFL combine.

The view from behind the finish line is even more impressive.

Thornton used his game-breaking speed to full advantage in Waco, becoming a big-play threat for the Bears’ passing attack.
