Breshad Perriman dazzled UCF football fans throughout the entirety of his three-year college career.
Today, he did the same at UCF Pro Day in front of scouts of reportedly all 32 NFL teams.
Perriman clocked in at an unofficial 4.22 in the 40-yard dash.
The pro day served as the final display of talent for UCF prospects, prior to the 2015 NFL Draft. Much like the NFL combine, held in late February, players were put through a number of workouts to allow scouts and coaches to gauge their talent.
Among those in attendance at this year’s pro day was four-time Super Bowl champion and head coach of the New England Patriots, Bill Belichick.
Finishing his college career with 115 receptions for 2,243 yards and 16 touchdowns, Perriman had been slowly creeping up a number of team’s draft boards. Everyone who had watched the 6’2”, 212-pound receiver knew that one of his biggest assets was his incredible speed. Unfortunately, due to a hamstring injury, he was forced to miss the NFL combine and was, therefore, unable to showcase his skills.
The 21-year-old showed no signs of injury as he blazed through the 40-yard dash at UCF. According to UCF Athletics, they heard times ranged anywhere from 4.15 to 4.27 for his two runs. A time that would have been the fastest at the NFL combine if he had he participated.
While Perriman was securing his status as one of the draft’s fastest receivers, his fellow Knights were opening eyes as well. Receivers Rannell Hall and Josh Reese, linebacker Terrance Plummer, offensive lineman Torrian Wilson, and defensive back Clayton Geathers all showcased their talents in front of scouts as well.
