It's that time od the year again, the NFL Combine is here.  We have hand measurements, outrageous questions, the 225 pound bench press and of course the 40-yard dash.

Baylor's Tyquan Thornton turned heads on Thursday with an unofficial time in the 40-yard dash of 4.21.  If it becomes official, it's a record.

THE FASTEST 40-YARD DASH TIME EVER?

Baylor's Tyquan Thornton ran a 4.21u, which would break John Ross' combine record if made official.

Speed kills we all know that.  It also, unfortunately for Tyquan, doesn't mean he's going to be a good NFL player.
