Alabama receiver Henry Ruggs III impresses at NFL Scouting Combine

If anyone from this year's rookie receiver class was going to challenge John Ross' NFL Scouting Combine record of 4.22 seconds in the 40-yard dash, it was going to be Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III. He didn't match Ross' mark but did come dangerously close, and that caught the attention of those observing.

Ruggs' 40-time of 4.27 seconds (initially unofficially timed at 4.28) was tops among this year's rookie receiver class and set the bar for the Combine. The next fastest speed came from Southern Mississippi wideout Quez Watkins, who clocked a 4.35-second 40-time.


Of course, none of this may mean a whole lot to the San Francisco 49ers, who could be in the market for a receiver but don't have a selection until pick No. 31. Ruggs is expected to be long gone by that slot.

Ruggs also recorded a vertical jump of 42 inches, tying for second among the receivers group.

Oh, and then you had Arizona State punter Michael Turk doing this...

Daniel Jeremiah explains why 49ers could still address pass rush in NFL Draft

By David Bonilla

Mock drafts will never please everyone, especially when they solely focus on the first 32 selections without offering perspective on what might come beyond the first round. Regarding the San Francisco 49ers, analyst Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was no different. He projected former Penn State pass rusher Chop Robinson to join the Bay Area team. Why the skepticism from fans? The 49ers' free agency focus has been on revamping their defensive front. After allowing Arik Armstead, Chase Young, and others to depart for other organizations, the team addressed last season's inconsistent play by adding defensive ends Leonard Floyd and Yetur Gross-Matos, trading for defensive tackle Maliek

Ex-NFL WR advocates for 49ers to trade Brandon Aiyuk: "Let that man be free"

Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team. Of course, that could be a negotiating tactic from Aiyuk's camp as the 49ers work to sign the receiver to a contract extension. That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized. 49ers insider Matt Barrows of
