Watch: Eric Stokes runs 4.2 40-yard dash at combine

Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Eric Stokes improved his NFL draft stock with a 4.2 40-yard dash during his combine workout. Stokes was Georgia’s No. 1 cornerback this past season and is looking to be a first-round selection in the 2021 NFL draft.

Stokes intercepted four passes this past season for the University of Georgia. The Covington, Georgia, product returned two of his interceptions for touchdowns.

The speedy defensive back is 6 feet, 1 inch and weighs 185 pounds. Stokes had an impressive workout at former NFL wide receiver Brandon Marshall’s combine. Additionally, the Georgia standout’s 41-inch vertical jump will catch the eye of NFL scouts.

Here’s the video of Stokes’ impressive 40-yard dash:
