Wide receiver Shedrick Jackson ran a blistering 4.25 second 40-yard dash at Auburn's pro day on Tuesday which, if official, would put him just a whisker outside of what many deem to be a near unbreakable NFL Draft Combine record.
Most attention leading up to the NFL Draft is devoted to the official Combine but many executives and scouts get a closer look at prospects at their individual pro days. And Jackson managed to steal the headlines for his blinding pace, while also excelling with his 38.5-inch vertical jump and 11-foot two-inches broad leap.
The Auburn senior logged a time which would have seen him rank fourth all-time behind Rondel Melendez and Chris Johnson, who both recorded times of 4.24 seconds in 1999 and 2008 respectively. Kalon Barnes ran the 40-yard dash in a time of 4.23 seconds in 2022, but the mark of 4.22 seconds set by John Ross in 2017 remains unassailable.
