One priority the Arizona Cardinals have this offseason is get faster and more athletic at both inside and outside linebacker. This drill should at least hold a little bit of intrigue for Cardinals fans, as the linebackers ran the 40 over the weekend.
If you want to compare, Daryl Washington, considered a very fast player at his position, ran a 4.66 40 at the Combine long ago.
As you can see in the table below, there are many solid times. The one disappointing time belonged to Paul Dawson, who ran a 4.93. He played much faster than that.
But guys like Eric Kendricks and Bud Dupree, who both have been mocked to the Cardinals at one time or another, both ran fast times. See the table with everyone's numbers below:
