INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The big men at the NFL scouting combine came up big under the Friday night lights at Lucas Oil Field. Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor ran the fastest 40-yard dash among the running backs at 4.39 seconds even though he is the third-heaviest running back in this year’s class. Also turning heads was Louisville offensive lineman Mekhi Becton. He ran the 40-yard dash if 5.1 seconds despite weighing in at a whopping 357 pounds. Iowa offensive lineman Tristan Wirfs also made a huge impression. He led the offensive linemen with a 4.85 time in the 40 and impressed teams in other drills.
