Nolan Smith wows at NFL combine with blazing 40-yard dash, elite ...

Georgia defender Nolan Smith surprised some when he told reporters he would be working out this year’s NFL combine. He suffered a torn pectoral in Georgia’s win over Florida at the end of October.

But there was Smith on Thursday, taking part in on-field drills at the NFL combine. The former Georgia standout showed why he’s one of the top athletes at his position, turning in an unofficial 4.44 40-yard dash. Smith’s 1.52 10-yard split is the fastest ever for an edge defender.
