Tavon Austin, Marquise Goodwin run blistering 40 times Posted by Michael David Smith on February 24, 2013, 9:27 AM EST Tavon Austin AP West Virginia receiver Tavon Austin proclaimed himself the best player in this year’s draft. He’s also one of the fastest players ever to enter any NFL draft. But he’s not necessarily the fastest player in this draft. Austin ran a 40-yard dash in an unofficial time of 4.25 seconds. If that holds up when all of the official times come in, it will be the second-fastest in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine, second only to Chris Johnson’s 4.24. Except that just a couple minutes after Austin turned in his 40 time, Texas receiver Marquise Goodwin equaled it with a 4.25-second 40-yard dash of his own. Goodwin, who was in the Olympics last year as a long jumper, said before the Combine that he thought he could break Johnson’s record. The NFL releases the official times after all of the receivers have run their 40-yard dashes. Austin and Goodwin will prove to be among the fastest ever to run in Indianapolis. |

Unfortunately, we're just at a spot in the draft where it will be tough to get Austin, unless they move mountains to trade back into the 1st.

I don't ever remember looking at McCluster and thinking he was especially fast.

He was like a 4.55. Austin is McCluster w/ a cheetah taped to his back.

for all the people wanting to trade picks for Harvin or Maclin, Austin is essentially that player. You just draft him instead of giving picks to another team and having to pay a huge contract.
this guy will clearly be legit in the NFL. it is so ****ing obvious |

He's quick, not fast ... or elusive tbh. Tavon Austin is fast,quick,elusive AND a wide receiver. DmC is still learning the WR position
