SEC speed is on display Sunday in Indianapolis.
Former Alabama DL Quinnen Williams ran a jaw-dropping 40-yard dash earlier in the day. Now former Mississippi State DE Montez Sweat has come along and set a record for defensive linemen in the NFL Scouting Combine.
Sweat clocked a 4.42-second unofficial time in the clip below of him running the 40-yard dash, which was record-setting. He followed it up with a time of 4.41 seconds. The 260-pounder clocked a faster time than Odell Beckham Jr.
The pass-rusher definitely made some money with that run.
