On a team with some of the NFL's biggest playmakers, the fastest man on the Pittsburgh Steelers is a linebacker.

Ryan Shazier, Pittsburgh's No.1 pick back in 2014, beating out receivers Markus Wheaton, Sammie Coates and Antonio Brown in the 40-yard-dash on Wednesday, a race that instantly went viral on social media.

Two years ago, Shazier ran a 4.36 in the 40 during Ohio State's pro day. It's that speed that intrigued the Steelers, who were looking for a versatile linebacker that could cover tight ends and receivers over the middle.

When healthy, Shazier has played like a No.1 pick, recording 107 tackles and four forced fumbles and 3.5 sacks in 14 games (including the postseason) in 2015. He made one of the biggest plays of the season in Week 15, with his interaction off of Brock Osweiler leading to the game-winning touchdown in Pittsburgh's 34-27 win over the Broncos.

The Steelers hope that Shazier can elevate his game even more in 2016, while helping the Steelers' defense continue to grow into one of the better units in football this fall.
