Griffin was unofficially clocked with a two-run average of 4.38 seconds before his official time was released later Sunday. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the Heisman runner-up and favorite to be the No. 1 pick, later ran twice, getting clocked unofficially at 4.66 and 4.59.

Luck's official time was 4.67.

Griffin is the only quarterback other than [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] to run faster than 4.4 at the combine (Vick was clocked at 4.33 seconds), according to ESPN Scouts Inc.'s Steve Muench. His time is impressive considering the average for quarterbacks over the last four combines was 4.90 and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] clocked 4.59 last year.

Luck put his versatility on display Sunday. His broad jump (10 feet, 4 inches) was two inches short of Newton's best in 2011, and Luck's vertical jump (36 inches) was better than Newton's (35). Griffin was better than Luck in the vertical jump (39 inches) but fell short in the broad jump (10 feet).

Brian Spurlock/US PresswireRobert Griffin III was the fastest quarterback in the 40-yard dash, posting a time of 4.41 seconds Sunday.


Griffin and Luck both skipped Sunday's throwing drills as planned, opting instead to do that with familiar receivers in a familiar environment during Pro Day workouts.

The best overall time Sunday was a 4.36, turned in by receivers [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Georgia Tech, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Miami and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Stanford.

The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Hill had been unofficially timed at 4.30. Other big receivers also impressed with their times as Notre Dame's [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (6-3, 220) ran the 40 in 4.47 and Miami's [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] (6-5, 219) finished in 4.40.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.], the No. 1 ranked receiver in this draft class, ran the gauntlet -- a drill in which players must catch balls thrown quickly in succession. Blackmon sat out the 40, as expected, after he said he hurt his hamstring last week.

Miami's [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] was the fastest running back in the 40 with an official time of 4.40. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Florida, [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of Oregon and [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] of San Diego State each posted times of 4.45.http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft2012/story/_/id/7617590/robert-griffin-iii-fastest-qb-combine-runs-441-40

Both he and Luck have said they will not throw at the combine.

From what I understand he will have his own mini combine at Baylor.
