Fastest DE at Combine: Which EDGE ran the fastest 40-yard dash in 2023? (VIDEO)

The NFL Combine got underway on Thursday with the defensive linemen and linebackers going through the drills. These are the first position groups to go through the 40-yard dash which means we get to see who is going to be the fastest for these positions.

Defensive ends and EDGE linebackers are under a lot of pressure to prove that they will be able to get around the edge of the offensive line at the next level. The 40-yard dash, shuttle and 3-cone drills are all important areas to have impressive performances as they try to increase their draft stock.

It didn't take long for Georgia linebacker Nolan Smith to set himself apart. Literally, he ran very, very fast. All of the times are unofficial at first until they can be verified, but Smith ran an unofficial 4.44 40-yard dash. Even more than that, his 10-yard split of 1.52-seconds would be the fastest for an EDGE if he were able to pull it off.
