Vic Beasley's outstanding combine continued Sunday as he ran a scorching 4.53 40-yard dash. Beasley also led all linebackers with 35 bench-press reps and has likely cemented his status as an early first-round selection. 

Though Bud Dupree was unable to participate in on-field drills with the rest of the prospects at his position, a 4.56 40-yard dash likely did more than enough to send his draft stock in the right direction. Dupree should be one of many edge defenders to come off the board in the first round.

Other Notable Performances

  • Dante Fowler Jr., Florida - 4.60
  • Eli Harold, Virginia - 4.60
  • Eric Kendricks, UCLA - 4.61
  • Randy Gregory, Nebraska - 4.64
  • Shaq Thompson, Washington - 4.64
  • Paul Dawson, TCU - 4.93

Eli Harold also improved his draft status Sunday, running the 40 in an official 4.60. Harold has slipped under the radar of late, but his explosiveness will be viewed as an asset for teams looking for edge rushers.
