Former University of Central Florida linebacker Shaquem Griffin ran a 4.38 official 40-yard dash time on Sunday at the NFL scouting combine.

To put that speed into perspective, NFL Network shared a Simulcam video of Griffin’s 40 -yard dash alongside Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman and Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott.

Griffin’s 40-yard dash time, the fastest 40-yard dash by a linebacker ever recorded at the NFL combine, came hours after the linebacker put up 20 reps on the bench press while using a prosthetic on his left arm.
