There will be plenty of "big winners" crowned at the NFL scouting combine this week in Indianapolis. After Friday night's performance—however—none may have helped their draft stock more than Nick Emmanwori.

Emmanwori, one of the biggest safeties at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, said he expected to run the 40-yard dash in the “4.3s.” For reference: No safety at the 2024 NFL Combine ran the 40 in under 4.40 seconds. Sure enough, Emmanwori was right again.

South Carolina's Joshua Simon was right behind Ferguson, finishing with a 40-yard dash of 4.65 seconds and finished one inch behind him on the vertical jump. He did edge him out in the broad jump, however, as he had a 10-foot, 4-inch jump.
