We all knew Henry Ruggs III was fast.

That's been known since his high school days at Montgomery (Ala.) Lee when he broke the Class 7A 100-meter dash record with a 10.58 in the state championship.

His speed also played a large role in 247Sports ranking him the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2017 class.

And now his speed is catching the attention of NFL scouts as the Crimson Tide hosted a junior pro day this week.

According to a report from AL.com's Matt Zenitz, Ruggs III ran in the 4.25 range in the 40-yard dash. For comparison, current Cincinnati Bengal and former Washington wideout John Ross holds the NFL Combine record after clocking a 4.22 second 40-yard dash in 2017.

Ruggs has contributed early and often throughout his two-year career with the Tide. Last season, the former 247Sports five-star caught 46 passes for 741 yards and 11 scores in what was loaded wide receiving corps that included Biletnikoff winner Jerry Jeudy and fellow former 247Sports five-star DeVonta Smith. The trio will return next season and will present nightmare matchups to opposing secondaries.
