Here’s how Benson stacks up against the rest of the running back class in this year’s Draft:

Player	Time
Issac Guerendo (Louisville)	4.33
Jaylen Wright (Tennessee)	4.38
Trey Benson (Florida State)	4.39
Keilan Robinson (Texas)	4.42
Kimani Vidal (Troy)	4.46
MarShawn Lloyd (USC)	4.46

Where would Benson's 40 time rank all-time at the running back position?

Player	Time (Year)
1. Chris Johnson	4.24 (2008)
2. Dri Archer	4.26 (2014)
3. Keith Marshall	4.31 (2016)
4. Darren McFadden	4.33 (2008)

Johnson has the fastest 40-time for a running back in NFL history and went on to play 10 years in the NFL. Archer spent just two years in the pros, Marshall never played a snap in the NFL, McFadden was the fourth overall pick in 2008 and spent a decade in the NFL, and Best, also a former first-round pick, played just two years in the league.

8. Henry Ruggs III, WR	4.27 (2020)
T8. Anthony Schwartz, WR	4.27 (2021)
