Kevin White impresses with unofficial 4.35 second 40-yard dash at combine
Trevor Ruszkowski-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
West Virginia's Kevin White is already considered one of the most physical wide receivers in this year's draft class, but his performance at the NFL combine on Saturday showed he also has top-level speed.
At 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds, White turned heads with his two 40-yard dash attempts, posting unofficial times of 4.35 and 4.36 seconds.
Though Alabama's Amari Cooper was also quite impressive, White's rare combination of size, strength and speed could conceivably make him the favorite to be the first wide receiver taken in the draft this spring.
White was filled with confidence when he met with the media Friday, suggesting there wasn't another wide receiver prospect who could match his ability on the field.
