NFL combine: Shaquem Griffin records a 4.38 official 40-yard dash

Former University of Central Florida linebacker Shaquem Griffin clocked a 4.38 official 40-yard dash time Sunday.

With that time, Griffin is the fastest linebacker to ever be recorded at the NFL Combine.

This comes just hours after Griffin, using a prosthetic on his left arm, put up 20 reps on the bench press.

To put his speed into perspective, NFL Network shared a Simulcam of Griffin’s 40-yard dash along with Seahawks Richard Sherman, Cowboys Ezekiel Elliott and Falcons Julio Jones.

Griffin beats all three of the active NFL players.
