Five months ago, South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer was given the unenviable task of explaining why the Georgia defense had just steamrolled the Gamecocks' offense. He gave a number of reasons, but singled out only one player, "a defensive lineman that weighs 340 pounds and runs better than everybody on this call."

The player was Jordan Davis, and as it turns out, Beamer may have been underselling the mammoth nose tackle's speed.

On Saturday, Davis threw down one of the wildest performances at the NFL scouting combine when he clocked in at 4.82 seconds in the 40-yard dash. That number would later be corrected to 4.78 seconds, cementing Davis' reputation as arguably the preeminent physical freak of this year's NFL draft class.

There are plenty of ways to describe that run, but Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a former defensive lineman himself at Miami, may have done it best: "Holy s*** fast."
