Top running back 40 times

INDIANAPOLIS -- East Carolina running back Chris Johnson posted the top 40-yard dash time of the combine thus far with a blazing 4.24 today. That was even faster than Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, who is supposed to be a top five pick.

Johnson actually proved himself prophetic, as in his interview with the media on Friday he was asked what he wanted to run in the 40-yard dash and he said, "Something fast, I hope it's the fastest here."

So far it is.

Here are the top 10 running back 40 times:
Chris Johnson, East Carolina -- 4.24
Darren McFadden, Arkansas -- 4.33
Anthony Aldridge, Houston -- 4.36
Jamaal Charles, Texas -- 4.38

Rashard Mendenhall, Illinois -- 4.45
Matthew Forte, Tulane -- 4.46
Felix Jones, Arkansas -- 4.47
