Jaylen Waddle predicts how fast Henry Ruggs III will run 40-yard dash at NFL Combine
WR Henry Ruggs III was one of the fastest players in all of college football last season.
Now, the former Alabama star is preparing for the 2020 NFL Draft and will participate in the NFL Combine at the end of the month.
How fast will he run the 40-yard dash? That’s a question many scouts and fans are wondering. His Alabama teammate, Jaylen Waddle, predicts that Ruggs will finish the run in 4.22 seconds:
4.22 I’m calling it !!! https://t.co/preFV8TFJ8

That would be a really great performance, as it would tie the current record set by John Ross in 2017.
If any of this year’s crop of receivers can do it, it’s Ruggs. He’s already being projected as a Round 1 pick, so we’ll see how much he can improve his stock in Indianapolis.
4.25! any bets taken?
4.23
Ruggs was a fun guy to watch. I remember his freshman year he had a streak where like his first 5 career catches all went for TDs.
In a perfect world, shorts and t-shirt I’ll put the blazing fast wideout clocking a best time in the 40 of 4.31 after making multiple sonic booms, just after that 40 yards I’d expect Ruggs to break the sound barrier! I always thought Waddle was the fastest of the 4 great receivers. Waddle and Ruggs were both amazingly fast, Juedy with more upside should do a 4.40 at worst and when Louisiana’s steal does get to the combine he should also run a sub 4.4 40. That’s 4 guys on a team loaded with talent and Tua tossing it around to 4 kids capable of 4.40 or less! The speed Alabama had on the field probably won’t be seen again for years. All great players but none over 200lbs or over 6’1″ so each will make $ as a teams deep threat and be that guy who takes the top off of the defense. I can’t wait to see the reaction from the NFL’s elite corners. I’d love to see Richard Sherman on an island with Ruggs just once!
I highly doubt it but.. Just in case this happens, you seen it here first…he gets a 4.19
