Sorry, but find me anyone who tested as well as Donald did at the combine.
Closest I can think of would be Geno Atkins and Henry Melton.
Donald ran an official 4.68 40 at the combine with a 7.11 3-cone drill.
Atkins ran an official 4.75 40 at the combine with a 7.33 3-cone drill.
Melton ran a 4.64 at his Pro Day at 269 pounds.
Donald's workout was on par with Clowney and Greg Robinson as far as athletic freaks went this year. To top it off, Donald demonstrates better technique at his position than either of those two currently have at their respective positions. Donald is the most pro-ready DL player in this draft. It's not a stretch to say that if he were 2 inches taller and even 5 pounds heavier people would be talking about him as a top 5 prospect and potential #1 overall pick.
Instead, he's a 6'1", 285 pounds, with nearly 33" arms DT who runs and moves like a linebacker with the power of a DT and has the tape to support it.
