NFL combine: Josh Sweat clocks fastest 40-yard dash by defensive lineman

Former Florida State defensive end Josh Sweat became the defensive lineman leader in the 40-yard dash with a 4.53.

Sweat clocked a 4.57 –– which also would’ve been the record –– on his first attempt before clocking a 4.53.

Two days before his 40-yard dash time, Sweat measured in with an arm length of 34-5/8 and a wingspan of 84-1/8 inches.

A SBNation reporter put those measurements into perspective.
