Austell: 5.23

Bisnowaty: 5.26/1.83

Collins was clearly the most athletic of the bunch. He came into the combine as a projected undrafted free agent. Teams will likely take a second look after seeing how athletic he is.
9:25 a.m.: Utah offensive lineman Isaac Asiata kicked things off with a 5.35-second 40-yard dash and 1.85-second 10-yard split.
