John Ross can breathe easily for another year. Alabama’s Henry Ruggs was the player believed to have a shot at lowering the Cincinnati Bengals’ mark of 4.22 in the 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine.
The Crimson Tide wideout gave it a good go but was not able to threaten the mark of the former Washington star. Ruggs ran a 4.28 in the 40 in his first attempt in Indianapolis. His second run came in a few ticks slower, at 4.31.
