LeBron James Relishes Ohio State WR Chris Olave’s 40-Yard Dash Time at Combine

Chris Olave dazzled fans with his athleticism and playmaking abilities as a wide receiver at Ohio State. When the wideout entered the 40-yard dash event at the NFL Scouting Combine, he did not disappoint as he notched a blazing 4.26-second 40-yard dash time.

While it was spectacular in itself, it was good enough to catch the eye of Lakers star and Ohio State fan LeBron James, who quote tweeted Olave's time saying “WOW.”

While Olave's time still remains unofficial, his time—which would be the fifth fastest 40-yard dash in combine history—was tied with former NFL receivers Jerome Mathis and Dribble Archer.
