Miami’s Travis Benjamin (4.32), North Carolina State’s T.J. Graham (4.35) and Wake Forest’s Chris Givens (4.37) all ran faster times than Griffin, but all three are receivers.
More than 300 draft hopefuls are working out in Indianapolis. Drills will run all day Sunday.
Griffin paid out –140 to beat Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson (+100) for the prop, “Which quarterback will have the faster 40-yard dash time at this year’s scouting combine.” Griffin also paid out –135 in a separate prop bet to beat LSU’s Jordan Jefferson (-105).
