The quarterbacks and wide receivers have been posting blazing times in the 40-yard dash in the 2022 NFL scouting combine. But on Saturday, defensive lineman Jordan Davis added his name to the conversation.
Georgia’s 341-pound lineman clocked a 4.82 second unofficial time—that was later changed to 4.78 officially—in the event, which caught some by surprise and caught the attention of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
“4.8 40 is fast. 4.8 40 @ 341lbs is holy s---fast. Great run big man, can’t wait to see you wreak havoc!!” Johnson said on Twitter.
To provide some perspective, Davis ran a faster 40-yard dash time than Chiefs quarterback and four-time Pro Bowler Patrick Mahomes.
