Officially, Keith Marshall’s NFL Combine 40-yard dash time checked in at 4.31, the fastest of any RB out there participating. Here’s another angle of his blistering pace.

For what it’s worth, Deion Sanders ran a 4.27 in the day before advanced timing metrics became a thing, and the all-time Combine record is Chris Johnson’s 4.24, so Marshall is in quite esteemed company.

No doubt the Georgia Bulldogs’ draft stock is on the rise after today.
