Texas Longhorns sent 11 players to the NFL Combine and everyone shined. Junior wide receiver from Fresno, CA #0 Xavier Worthy on his second attempt broke the NFL Combine record in the 40-yard dash with a time of 4.21.
On Worthy’s first attempt he ran a 4.25 which is impressive and would have been the fastest in this years class at the NFL Combine. Worthy could have stopped their, but wanted one more chance to better his time.
Watch here:
A few moments later, the NFL reported that Worthy actually broke the record after they ran the Simulcam and showed John Ross against Xavier Worthy. Ross held the record set in 2017 at 4.22.
Watch
Worthy catches a 44 yard pass reception from Quinn Ewers against Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Al. This play gave Texas the lead and they would go on to win the game 34-24. The Texas win snapped the 21-game winning streak at home for Alabama.
