Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson are taking part in the NFL Combine, and the wide receivers are turning some heads with their first turn at the 40-yard dash in Indianapolis.
With his first run, Olave turned in a blistering 4.26 (unofficial) in the 40-yard dash. To this point, that is the second-fastest time among wide receivers at the combine. Tyquan Thornton of Baylor ran a 4.21 (unofficial).
Here’s what it looked like, but don’t blink:

While Wilson was a tad slower, he still beat the elite 4.40 mark. Wilson’s first run clocked in at 4.37.
Both Buckeye receivers have been projected as first-round picks, and Thursday’s early runs in the 40 should only solidify those projections.
