Posted Apr 28, 2020
During Monday's appearance on Colin Cowherd's show, The Herd, Roy Williams said Michael Jordan ran a 4.39 during his sophomore year in Chapel Hill. To put that blazing fast number in perspective, Jordan's time would've been tied for the 10th-fastest overall at this year's NFL Combine, joining the likes of first-round picks Isaiah Simmons and C.J. Henderson. (247 Sports)
