One of the draft’s top receiving prospects came out and ran Saturday in a manner befitting a surefire first-round pick.

Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper was unofficially clocked at 4.42 and 4.43 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

West Virginia’s Kevin White, another candidate to be the top receiver taken, was clocked a little faster at 4.35 seconds.

Nevertheless, the 20-year-old Cooper still ranked among the quicker receivers timed on Saturday. Now, the focus turns to when he hears his name called when the NFL draft begins on April 30 in Chicago.
