Jalen Hurts 40 time among notable numbers from Alabama spring workouts
Most notable is Dylan Moses. Read above. He just ran a 4.46 forty at 235 pounds, along with weightlifting numbers to put him in with the strongest on the team. And he hasn’t even started his freshman season. You can be sure that NFL scouts have already seen that, and are drooling over themselves waiting for three years from now.

Jalen Hurts 40 time among notable numbers from Alabama spring workouts
— Alabama has had a lot of freakish athletes during the past several years. Five-star freshman Dylan Moses may end up being one of the freakiest. The 6-foot-3, 235-pound freshman ran the 40 in 4.46 seconds. To put that into perspective, that was faster than all but two of the Tide’s wide receivers. The Louisiana native also bench-pressed 405 pounds, squatted 500 pounds and had the top power clean among linebackers (335). He’s only been on campus two months...
— Sophomore Mack Wilson also ran very well. His 40 time was 4.59.
This article is a couple of days old, so you’ve likely already seen it, but this is one of my most looked forward to pieces each year.— Sophomore Mack Wilson also ran very well. His 40 time was 4.59.
Most notable is Dylan Moses. Read above. He just ran a 4.46 forty at 235 pounds, along with weightlifting numbers to put him in with the strongest on the team. And he hasn’t even started his freshman season. You can be sure that NFL scouts have already seen that, and are drooling over themselves waiting for three years from now.
A couple of other notable numbers:
- Jalen Hurts ran a 4.48 forty. Faster than all the running backs and faster than any QB in the NFL combine.
- Josh Jacobs had the best vertical jump on the team with 35.5 inches. That’s definitely an impressive number, but I’d expect some of most elite athletes in college football would have had a higher max.
- Calvin Ridley ran a 4.43, which is significantly slower than his unreal 4.35 last year.
- As you’d expect, Xavian Marks was the fastest receiver, running a 4.41. What you wouldn’t expect, though, is that he also led the receivers with a 365 pound bench press.
- Redshirt freshman tight end Irvin Smith ran a 4.59 forty. What? Where did that come from?
- Deonte Brown had easily the best squat on the team, lifting 675 pounds, while Brandon Kennedy led the offensive linemen in speed with a 5.15 forty.
- Daron Payne is other worldly. He squatted 635, benched 545(!) power cleaned 365(!!), and then ran a 5.03 forty. This guy is going to be getting so much NFL hype this season.
- Jamar King was the fastest interior lineman, running a 4.77 forty.
- The outside linebackers weren’t as fast as I was expecting, with Mekhi Brown leading the way with a 4.61 forty. Christian Miller did show some serious explosion though, with a 35 inch vertical and 119 inch broad jump at 240 pounds.
- Tony Brown is still the fastest player on the team. 4.38 forty.
