Imagine getting the high score in your class on a final exam and not being satisfied.
That's how Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs, a top NFL draft prospect, feels right now.
At the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Ruggs registered a 4.27-second 40-yard dash, the fastest time of any player in Indianapolis that week.

Somehow, that wasn't good enough for Ruggs.
“I actually was a little disappointed,” Ruggs said on SiriusXM NFL Radio this week, according to Pro Football Talk. “Just a lot of technical things I did during the run ... But I’m still glad to be known as one of the fastest ever.”
Ruggs addressed what he felt he could have done better.
“After the re-start, I was thinking a lot and didn’t really come out of my start like I wanted to, didn’t really come out fluid, and didn’t really push on my first two steps,” Ruggs said. “Then, running with my hands closed kind of tensed me up so I couldn’t really open up like I wanted to.”

Ruggs is one of the three best wide receivers in this draft class, along with Alabama teammate Jerry Jeudy and Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb. Both the Raiders and the 49ers have their eyes on the trio of standout wideouts.
If either team picks Ruggs, they are getting the fastest player in the class, and they won't be disappointed by that development.
