Texas Football: Devin Duvernay sets blazing 40-time at NFL Combine
The 2020 NFL Draft Combine was very good so far to a former star wide receiver of the Texas football program, Devin Duvernay.
Two former wide receivers out of the Texas football program were set to compete in a handful of key drills and measurements at the 2020 NFL Draft Combine this week. And one of the most watched events at the NFL Combine year in and year out is one that they would both participate in, the 40-yard dash.
One of those two former wide receivers out of the Texas Longhorns football program that ran in the 40-yard dash on Feb. 27 was the former senior star starter Devin Duvernay. He posted one of the best 40-yard dash times of any wide receiver running in the event this week at the NFL Combine.
Duvernay blazed a lot of the competition in the NFL Combine by running an electric 4.39-second 40-yard dash time. That time from Duvernay should only help his 2020 NFL Draft stock, which seemed to be on the rise since the Senior Bowl last month.
Also competing in the NFL Combine is fellow former senior star Texas wide receiver Collin Johnson. Duvernay and Johnson both fared well in their own respects in the combine thus far. But Johnson did re-aggravate his hamstring injury, which is not a good sign given he dealt with that throughout the 2019 regular season.
Measuring in at 5-foot-10.5 and 200 pounds, Duvernay holds a good frame and strength for his speed. He was a former high school track star in the state of Texas, so his blazing speed at the NFL Combine shouldn’t come as a surprise to many.

At this point, Duvernay should project out as about a middle round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. He really excelled in maybe the most important event at the NFL Combine by far for a wide receiver, while Johnson might have seen his stock drop with this latest edition of his nagging hamstring injury.
