Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver Arian Smith is one of the fastest prospects in the draft with his 6-foot, 175-pound light frame. He ran a 10.1 100-meter in high school, which translates to a 40 time in the low 4.2s.

Iowa State Cyclones defensive back Darien Porter put his speed on display during the Senior Bowl where he was clocked at 22.17 MPH and at 21.26 MPH during practice. That was the second-fastest speed ever since they started registering the stat.

Fastest players (MPH) during Senior Bowl practices (via Zebra Sports):
