Winners

Darnell Washington

You can’t really miss Darnell Washington, standing as he does 6 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 270 pounds. But if he had managed to escape your notice before Saturday, he made damn sure you know his name now. Washington ran a 4.64 forty-yard dash, the sixth fastest of the 13 players who took part. His 1.57 10-yard split was the second quickest of the group, while no one put in a quicker short shuttle. Washington’s was clocked at 4.08. Given his immense size, all of these feats are mightily impressive.
