Coleman's 4.62-second 40-yard-dash time was disappointing. There's no way around that number, especially compared to the other top receivers in this year's draft class.
Coleman raced through all of the drills, though, and NFL Next Gen Stats backed that up. He ranked among the top four in top speed during a number of different routes in his group, including second on go-balls.
That's a testament to Coleman's game speed over his tested speed.
Legette crushed every portion of the NFL combine.
In addition to a 40-inch vertical jump, Legette ran a blistering 4.39-second 40-yard dash at 221 pounds. The effort was one of the best times this year period, never mind that Legette is significantly heavier than almost everyone else in that range.
Legette was good in the route drills as well. He's a smooth, powerful mover who looked comfortable bringing in almost every throw.
Franklin tested fairly well across the board. His 4.41-second 40-yard dash was sweet, and he should be happy with his jumps.
However, Franklin had a rough day when it came to running routes. He ended up on the ground at least four times during positional drills.
Sometimes it was a sloppy route break. Other times, he lost his footing trying to concentrate for the catch. To that point, Franklin also struggled catching the ball cleanly and consistently compared to his peers.
Overall, Franklin looked like the least natural player on the field despite his quality testing numbers.
A new combine legend emerged Saturday.
Worthy ran a record-setting 4.21-second 40-yard dash, breaking the 4.22-second mark that John Ross III previously set in 2017. He erupted out of his stance with a 1.49-second 10-yard split and continued to accelerate into hyperspeed.
Even heading into the combine, Worthy's speed was obvious on film. But there's a different level of appreciation when a player makes history.
What makes it even better is that Worthy broke the record with his second run, not his first. He hit 4.25 on his first run—a stellar time on its own—but ran again in an attempt to break Ross' record. We're all glad he did, too.
It's hard to live up to Worthy's record-breaking 40-yard dash, but Thomas tried his hardest.
The 6'3", 209-pound Thomas torched the 40-yard dash with a 4.34-second effort. Given that Thomas has four inches and 44 pounds on Worthy, being within around a tenth of a second of the record is outrageous.
That isn't where it stops with Thomas, either. His 38.5" vertical and 10'6" broad jumps both ranked near the top of the wide receiver class. Thomas also looked snappy and powerful during the on-field drills, just as he did at LSU.
