In Case You Missed It, James Pearce Is Quite Fast
By Cody McClure
Yesterday at the NFL scouting combine VFL James Pearce turned some heads.
Pearce recorded an impressive 4.47 in the 40-yard dash on his second run — shortly after running a 4.50.
It was the first sub-4.5 40 of the combine.
Pearce’s 4.47 was faster than Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, CeeDee Lamb, and Amon-Ra St. Brown ran at their combine appearances.
Not too bad for a guy with the frame of a defensive end.
Pearce likely made himself some extra money with that performance yesterday. He’s projected to go in the first round.
