Marcus Mariota dusted Jameis Winston in 40-yard dash (Video)
Marcus Mariota ran one of the most impressive 40-yard dashes you will ever see from a quarterback at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday, posting an unofficial time of 4.52. Jameis Winston? Not so much.
Winston, who is not really known for his speed, ran a 4.97. To give you some perspective, Peyton Manning ran a 4.80 when he was in college. Tom Brady was one of the worst ever at 5.28 seconds.
Here are some videos that show Winston’s and Mariota’s individual runs:
Assuming Winston is drafted in the first round, his 40 time will be the slowest of any first-round quarterback since 2010. Mariota’s would be the second-fastest behind Robert Griffin III’s 4.41, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
There have been concerns about Winston’s weight this offseason, though many still believe he has a great shot at being selected with the top overall pick. He showed us earlier this week that he certainly doesn’t lack confidence.
