    Speed kills.

    At least, that’s the motto we’ve come to memorize from years of watching football. It’s pure physics, ladies and gentlemen. At the end of the day, having the faster players will definitley play into your favor.

    Loading up on nothing but quick-feet, track-burning athletes isn’t the best option — Al Davis’ draft record proves that. But, man, it’s fun to watch some of these world-class athletes tear up the turf.

    And with the 2016 NFL Combine set to begin Feb. 23, there will be plenty of lightning-fast guys hyped up to explode out of that stance and clock in with a top-notch time. Coaches and scouts will have their thumbs hovering over their stopwatches in anticipation of the highly-touted drill.

    Below are 10 guys to watch run the 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
