Washington receiver John Ross set a record in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine Saturday. Saturday morning, in a seeming blink of an eye, Ross’s try turned into combine history as he recorded a time of 4.22, breaking the mark of 4.24 set by running back Chris Johnson in 2008.
Ross, who in a happy coincidence was given jersey number 42 for his workouts here, set the record on his first attempt and told the NFL Network he was cramping in his calves before his run. Ross then decided not to bother with his second attempt.
