We don’t know if former Houston defensive tackle Ed Oliver rode to his pro day on one of his four horses, but he did put on quite a show.

Oliver, who many people are projecting to go the Falcons in their mock drafts, dazzled Thursday.

Oliver weighed 281 pounds and ran the 40-yard dash in between 4.71 and 4.75 seconds, according to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle.

He weighed 287 pounds at the combine.

Oliver, who was a five-star recruit who turned down Alabama and others to stay at home, also lifted 225 pounds 32 times and had a 36-inch vertical.

After this showing, he’s not likely to be available when the Falcons select with the 14th pick overall.
