Defensive backs are often where you find the fastest players in the draft. They have to be fast to react and close ground on speedy receivers. There were some fast DB’s in this year’s combine, but none were able to break the 4.3 barrier.

Last year the fastest player was a receiver. John Ross wasn’t just the fastest at last year’s combine, he had the fastest official 40 at the combine ever at 4.22. In that combine he was just ahead of cornerback Jalen Myrick who ran a 4.28.

Over the past 20 combines, 19 players have ran a 4.3 or better. Not surprisingly, five of them were drafted by the Raiders. Three of them were defensive backs.

This year there was no such 4.3 speedster among the DB’s. The closest was 4.32 which was run by three players — LSU’s Donte Jackson, Tulane’s Parry Nickerson, and Ohio State’s Denzel Ward.

In total there were 8 DB’s to run a sub 4.4 40, which is still pretty damn fast.

Here are all the results for the DB workouts at the 2018 combine.
