Which offensive lineman ran the fastest 40-yard dash at 2022 NFL Combine? [VIDEO]

You don’t usually think of offensive linemen when you think of speed, but in today’s NFL, quickness and burst are huge factors for these very large men. Getting ahead of the ball carrier downfield is helpful as well and if you ever see an NFL lineman out in the world, don’t challenge them to a race.

Two years ago we saw the fastest 40-time ever for a offensive lineman weighing 320+, as Tristan Wirfs ran a 4.85. In that same year 6’7”, 364 pound Mechi Becton ran a 5.10 40, the fastest for any player over 350 pounds.

Update: Based on official times, we’ve got a new fastest performer for offensive lineman at the 2022 combine when it comes to the 40. Kentucky Wildcats lineman Dare Rosenthal unofficially ran a 4.93, but officially it was ruled a 4.88 which put him .01 seconds ahead of previous speedster Kellen Diesch.
