Mohamed Sanu's official 2012 NFL Combine workout numbers have been posted, and the wide receiver prospect from the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football program had his 40-yard dash time go from an unofficial 4.65 seconds to an official 4.67. However, despite a slower 40-time, Sanu rebounded with strong performances in other workouts.
Sanu, a possible first-round selection in April's NFL Draft, did have solid bench press (19 reps of 250-pounds), broad jump (10-feet, 6-inches) and three-cone drill (6.88 seconds) numbers.
Overall, Sanu posted the sixth-most bench press reps for all wide receivers, while finishing in a tie for fourth in the broad jump and a tie for 10th in the three-cone drill. All these drills showcase Sanu's explosiveness and ability to change direction with ease.
So, Sanu's straight-line speed may not have impressed scouts or NFL front-office brass Sunday, but if they're looking for a guy to can work the slot or has the strength to catch the ball in traffic, it seems as if Sanu is your guy.
