At the NFL Scouting Combine earlier today, the University of Maryland's Da'Rel Scott ran the fastest 40 yard dash of all the running backs at Lucas Oil Field in Indianapolis, Indiana. Scott turned in a sharp official time of 4.34 seconds, way ahead of former Heisman Trophy winner Mark Ingram (Alabama) who ran a pedestrian 4.62.
Da'Rel is not expected to draw a ton of early attention in April's NFL Draft, but he should be a mid-to-late round draft pick and today's show of speed will only help his draft status. Congrats to the Maryland running back who obviously turned a lot of NFL heads who knew he was fast but didn't expect him to be that fast.
