Chris Olave and Garrett Wilson showed why they are both in line to be first-round picks with sub-4.4-second 40-yard dashes and smooth pass-catching workouts on Thursday night.
Although there were seven other wide receivers who also broke 4.4 in the 40, Wilson and Olave were the fastest of the wide receivers who have been widely projected as first-round picks. Penn State’s Jahan Dotson wasn’t far off with a 4.43-second 40-yard dash, but there is a clear difference between the times run by Olave and Wilson and the 4.55-second 40 run by Arkansas’ Treylon Burks.
Except for the vertical jump, where Wilson out-leaped Olave by four inches, their combine measurables were very comparable to each other. While Wilson beat Olave by just one one-hundredth of a second on the official 40 times, Olave beat Wilson by just one inch in the broad jump, leaping 10-foot-4 to Wilson’s 10-foot-3.
None of those numbers are going to blow scouts away, but with as well as they played during their Ohio State careers, as fast as they ran their 40s and as fluid as their receiving workouts were, they didn’t need to do anything spectacular in the other drills to leave the combine with their first-round draft stocks secure.
They’ll have one more opportunity to work out for NFL teams before next month’s draft at Ohio State’s pro day on March 23, but at this point, there aren’t many boxes left they really need to check. If they weren’t already both locks to be selected in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft on April 28, they should be now.
