Arkansas Razorbacks running back Mike Washington Jr. was emotional after his incredible 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine on Saturday. 

Washington started his career at Buffalo before transferring to New Mexico State. He recorded the best season after making another move, this time to Arkansas. 

He rushed for 1,070 yards and eight touchdowns for the Razorbacks last season. 

The RB is set to end Saturday as one of the more discussed prospects at the Combine, having made a very quiet entrance.

Washington, who weighs 233 pounds, registered a 4.33 in the 40, the fastest-ever for a running back and the fastest of the day. 

Check him out below:

“Gotta be RB1 now after running a 4.33 @ 223 pounds, pretty ridiculous…” one fan declared.

Mike Washington Could Not Hold Back The Tears

Well aware of how his running time could impact his draft stock, Washington broke down in tears after getting off the field. 

“That’s not just a 4.33… that’s years of sacrifice paying off,” someone suggested.
