The former West Virginia football player had the top cone time off all running backs in Indianapolis. Smallwood clocked in at 6.83 seconds. He beat out Shad Thornton (6.85) of North Carolina State and Kenneth Dixon (6.97) of Louisiana Tech.
Smallwood also thrived in the “find the ball” drill, where players are tasked with catching a football while shuffling side-to-side.
Ever since he was in high school, Smallwood displayed big-time talent.
He wasn’t the speediest on the field at WVU, but showcasing his speed at the Combine is the best thing he could do to boost his draft stock.
