Childs runs 4.41 40 at Arkansas pro day

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Greg Childs ran a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at Arkansas’ pro day on Tuesday.

The wide receiver improved on his 4.55-second time from the combine last month with the fastest 40 time of all participants Tuesday. Joe Adams ran a 4.55.

Jarius Wright, an all-Southeastern Conference receiver last season, opted not to run the 40 on Tuesday. Wright ran a 4.42-second 40 last month in Indianapolis.

All three receivers caught passes for scouts from former Arkansas and current New England Patriots quarterback Ryan Mallett. At least 25 NFL teams had representatives at the workout.

Jake Bequette, an all-SEC defensive end last season, did not participate in any speed and strength drills on Tuesday, citing an injured pectoral muscle. Bequette went through drills for both defensive ends and linebackers on Tuesday.

He participated in the NFL combine and said he will hold a private weight-lifting workout for scouts ahead of the NFL Draft.
