Johnny Knox Runs a 4.25

Several of the most well-known names at the receiver position ran very respectable 40 times today at the combine. However, a no-name prospect has created by far the most buzz.

Abilene-Christian wide receiver Johnny Knox (who?) ran a 4.25, a blazing time by anyone's standards.

So will Johnny Knox be this year's overdrafted flavor based on incredible workouts? Last year, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted little-known Jerome James in the second round after he posted some amazing numbers at the combine, and they didn't see much of a return on their investment in his rookie year.

Either way, it will be interesting to see where Knox is eventually drafted.

  1. Did You Know?

    One of Patriots owner Robart Kraft's 3 Super Bowl rings was reportedly stolen by Vladimir Putin? Kraft made a PR statement maintaining that he gave the ring to Putin out of respect for the Russian people, but several close sources, including Kraft's wife, claim the "gift" was not freely given.

    A Putin/Bellichick spat, if it ever happened, would pit the two most undeniably cold-blooded white men of the early 21st century against each other.
