WATCH: Lorenzo Styles Jr. makes Ohio State history with blazing 40-yard dash time at NFL Combine

COLUMBUS — Everyone already knew Lorenzo Styles Jr. was one of the fastest players on the Ohio State football roster. But it would have been hard to predict what he would run when it was his turn to clock a 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.

He delivered a run that set an Ohio State record.

Styles Jr. ran a blazing fast 4.27-second 40-yard dash on Friday afternoon, the fastest ever time for a former Ohio State star. He was the fastest cornerback to run the 40-yard dash, and he is the fastest player to run it so far at the NFL Scouting Combine. It’s the ninth-fastest time in NFL Combine history.

Styles Jr.’s insane time comes just one day after his brother, Sonny, ran a 4.46-second time to tie fellow Ohio State star Arvell Reese for the fastest time among linebackers.

But back to Lorenzo. He also impressed with his 39-inch vertical leap.

Styles Jr. won’t be able to go through drills, and he won’t be able to participate at Ohio State pro day because of a labrum injury suffered during last season; he played through nearly the entire year with it. Now he’ll have surgery on it soon, knocking him out of the rest of the pre-draft process.

But if any questions remained about Styles Jr.’s speed after his 100-yard kick-return touchdown against UCLA in November, he answered in astounding fashion. He’s the fastest player at the NFL Scouting Combine.
