Of particular note from the 40-yard times was Oweh’s at 4.36. According to PFF’s Anthony Treash, that time would be the best by a player of Oweh’s size at DL in the past 20 years of the NFL Combine:

Hopefully, these players are able to turn strong pro-day performances into a high draft pick in April. Time will tell where these guys wind up to begin their NFL careers.
