In case you missed any of the exploits at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday, we’re here to tell you that the receivers took their turn in the sun in Indianapolis. That means that Ohio State receivers Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson were put in front of the cameras for NFL scouts and executives with one of the events being the 40-yard dash.
It might be the most popular test at the combine because everyone loves speed, and if that’s the case, then Olave and Wilson only improved their draft stock with both of them running sub 4.4 times.
It’s not every day that you get teammates running times that fast, and in fact, according to ESPN’s Field Yates, it’s only the second time since 2006 that two receiver teammates ran sub-4.4 times.
Ohio State’s Garrett Wilson (4.38) and Chris Olave (4.39) became the 2nd pair of WR teammates since 2006 to run sub-4.4 40 times at the same combine.
The only other duo? Terry McLaurin and Parris Campbell. pic.twitter.com/ugglFDDDkI

That’s awfully impressive. What might be of interest to you and even more impressive is that the only other time was also from two teammates from Ohio State when Parris Campbell and Terry McLaurin pulled off the same feat.
Are you reading what we’re putting out there top receiving prospects? Ohio State is the place for speed when it comes to the wide receiver position. Speed kills, sells, and makes guys lots of money at the highest level.
