Dylan Sampson was recorded at a 4.46-4.49 40 at his Pro Day
Using his combine weight he’s right around a 100 Speed Score
Not amazing for a guy billed as a speed back but certainly not bad and meets the thresholds we look for

Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson only ran the 40 at yesterday's pro day (and didn't disappoint).
4.42/1.58

32 draftable grades on this years RB class. Group is loaded with depth. There were 30 RBs drafted in 2017. Could see more this year. A few of my favorites outside of Round 2:
• DJ Giddens – Kansas St
• Devin Neal – Kansas
• LeQuint Allen – Syracuse
• Brashard Smith – SMU

There's a small-school RB seemingly every year that ends up getting drafted Day 3 and making an impact as rookie.
Two years ago it was Jaleel McLaughlin with Broncos and Dylan Laube appears on-track for a role this year based off early reports from Raiders camp.
𝐖𝐡𝐨'𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐠𝐮𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐜𝐲𝐜𝐥𝐞? @seniorbowl is calling our shot early on Delaware RB Marcus Yarns.
The biggest thing that usually separates guys that fall into "good college back"' category (and there's tons of those!) and legit pro prospects is how explosive they are.
Believe us, Yarns (5102v, 185v, 31 arm, 8 5/8 hand) has NFL juice.![]()
Springy athlete runs with low pad level and natural lean, which you can see from rewind-worthy below.
While he lacks ideal size, Yarns' excellent contact balance gives him a real sturdiness that will translate at the next level.
Checkout next clip to see why we think @MarcusYarns will be favorite of NFL offensive coordinators during pre-draft process...
1/2

RB value goes 𝙬𝙖𝙮𝙮𝙮𝙮𝙮 𝙪𝙥 in if they can create mismatches in passing game, which @Delaware_FB RB Marcus Yarns (motioning into tight left slot) shows he can do here.
Speed is easy to see and it's hard to find backs that can track & finish on 50-yard go balls!
Devy owners, remember the name, @MarcusYarns.

Ridiculous stat incoming...
Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson had 36 carries with 2 or fewer yards to go. He had 33 first downs!!! 92%. That is unbelievable.

No WR in this class has a better release package/wins off the line more consistently than Kyle Williams

				I’m a little surprised that Arizona RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt got snubbed and I’m disappointed because I wanted to see him there.

				The tape doesn't lie my friend... Those combine numbers can be deceiving... Id love to see him land in Denver...People really sleeping on Devin Neal... Unpopular opinion alert---> I like his game better than all these guys outside of Jeanty..
I loved watching him on film before the combine. I still like his film. If he's smart, he'll show up at the Big 12 Pro Day that's going on and run because he had a terrible combine when it came to measured speed. He's being mocked as a Day Three guy, and I don't think the NFL is all that far off in their assessment.
Devin Neal is listed as one of the participants at the "Pro Day" going on from the 18th-21st, according to this site, which I think is the official Big 12 Pro Day site.

Big 12 Pro Day Returns to The Star in Frisco
FRISCO, Texas – Big 12 Pro Day will return to The Star in Frisco on March 18-21 as the Conference will partner with the NFL for the second annual event. The NFL Network will provide coverage of Pro Day from the Dallas Cowboys’ global headquarters as Big 12 football athletes begin the next...big12sports.com
The tape doesn't lie my friend... Those combine numbers can be deceiving...
I hear you.. picks are valuable... You're looking at a second round rookie pick tho... Time will tell either wayThe tape doesn't lie my friend... Those combine numbers can be deceiving...
Combine numbers can be very deceiving but MPH numbers are a little trickier to fake, and he didn't seem to be up to speed at with those, either. And you're talking that I was one of the guys who after watching the highlights thought he was one of my "picks to click" or whatever they call it.
But I've gotta adjust priors when they turn out to be wrong because what it takes to acquire draft capital is precious here and I can't be blowing it on tests slow/plays slow. I'd like to see him explode at the Big Twelve days and give everybody second thoughts about what might turn out to be a bad Combine day or even just a bad drill for him.
