INDIANAPOLIS ? It turns out that Tavon Austin isn?t all talk.
The West Virginia wide receiver, who has been heavily linked to the Patriots in several mock drafts and claimed to be the fastest player in the draft, unofficially ran a 4.25-second 40-yard dash at Lucas Oil Stadium Sunday.
The time is the fastest at the NFL Scouting Combine since Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 in 2008.
While several players are yet to run, Austin boldly proclaimed that he would beat everyone in 40 earlier this week.
?If we all lined up and raced, I think I?d come out on top,? he said.
Austin caught gained 1,932 yards from scrimmage with 15 touchdowns during his senior season. He also gained 813 yards as a return man.
Several teams have spoken highly of Austin this week, but NFL Network analyst Marshall Faulk may have given him the highest praise Saturday night.
"Listen to me, I am pounding the desk," Faulk said on Saturday's "NFL Total Access." "This guy here is a playmaker. He's Percy Harvin and Wes Welker wrapped into one."
UPDATE: Texas WR Marquise Goodwin, who said he was going to break the record, also ran a 4.25.
A video on NFL.com makes it appear that Goodwin may have been a millisecond faster.
