Written by John Glennon
Chattanooga cornerback Buster Skrine made a big impression at the NFL Combine last week, but just how much he improved his draft status might depend in part on which measurement of his 40-yard dash times is most believable.
The NFL Network unofficially timed the All-Southern Conference performer as running 4.29 and 4.36 seconds in his two attempts. Those are blazing-fast times, close to the Combine record 4.24 that Titans running back Chris Johnson ran in 2008 when he was coming out of East Carolina.
Watching Skrine run was enough to excite Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, an NFL Network analyst, who said: "It's nothing technical, but just seeing that kid's first step, I was like 'Oh, he's got something!' He had a burst. He was low, he was smooth, and that was just one step."
