Sunday marked the start of the real fun at the NFL Combine as after the offensive linemen and tight ends did their combine testing on Saturday the skill positions took center stage. 37 running backs participated in the 2014 combine events and several of the favorites to post impressive numbers did just that this afternoon in Indianapolis.
Dri Archer would take the headlines in the 40 yard dash running an official time of 4.26, just .02 seconds slower than Chris Johnson’s all-time mark of 4.24 while Bishop Sankey was impressive in the bench press with 26 reps to go along with his 40 time of 4.49 to show off his elite blend of power and acceleration coming out Washington.
Carlos Hyde had a disappointing day, coming up limp with a hamstring injury during the 40 yard dash. Auburn star running back Tre Mason ran an official time of 4.5 in the 40 to round out the notable highlights of the day for running backs.
