Alabama wide receiver improves draft stock with 40-yard dash

Alabama football wide receiver Germie Bernard improved his draft stock with an impressive 40-yard dash time.

Bernard entered the NFL Scouting Combine with the goal of showcasing his speed, and he did. The Las Vegas native clocked in an official time of 4.48 in the forty-yard dash.

“A lot of people doubt my speed, but they gon’ see tomorrow,” Bernard told reporters before performing at the combine.

Speed is not something many correlate with Bernard. He is more known for his dependability and tough playing style. Bernard feels those traits, combined with his versatility, separate him from other receivers.
