When it comes to the NFL Combine, several former Nebraska football players have shown off their ability to fly like the wind.

That said, just because you can duplicate the damage of a cyclone doesn’t necessarily translate to a quality NFL career.

For these Huskers, their ability to scoot at the combine was indeed a precursor for better things and produced some of the best performances by Nebraska alumni at the combine from 2000-2016 (years available thanks to research provided by Pro Football Reference).

Some names that pop up when it comes to speed are Quincy Enunwa, Kenny Bell, Niles Paul, Josh Bullocks, Eric Crouch, Alfonzo Dennard and DeJuan Groce. However, none of these former Huskers were able to crack the top five.

Which former members of the Big Red were the fleetest of feet? Let’s review:

5. Zack Bowman

In 2008, Bowman checked in at 6-0, 197 pounds. The vertical jump and bench press were not kind to him, but his feet served him well.

Bowman turned in a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, a 7.10-second three-cone drill and ran a 4.21-second shuttle. He would later be drafted in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears with the 142nd pick.

He stuck with the Bears from 2008-2011 before moving on to Minnesota briefly during the offseason. He would return to Chicago for the 2012 season before bolting once more in after the 2013 season. He spent 2014 with the New York Giants and 2015 with the Miami Dolphins.
