By Bobby Burack
Just one day after benching 225 20 times using a prosthetic arm, Shaquem Griffin may have just topped himself. The linebacker from the University of Central Florida Knights absolutely put on a show during the 40-yard dash displaying (unofficial) a flying time of 4.38.
WOW. ???@ShaquemGriffin just ran a 4.38u 40-yard dash!

While it could be disputed by 0.02, the historical average for an outside linebacker is 4.68 … so is safe to say Griffin is fast.
