Loser: Corey Clement, running back, Wisconsin
Nobody expected to see Corey Clement burning up the track Friday. He was a power back at Wisconsin and isn’t ever going to run away from defensive backs in the open field. Still, we also didn’t expect to see him finish among the worst of the worst in the 40-yard dash, either. In fact, only two running backs and two fullbacks ran slower.

Clement also didn’t exactly wow in the two jumps, which test explosion, and he lumbered around during on-field drills. For a guy who showed up to the combine at 220 pounds, Clement looked like he was wearing cement shoes. Contrast his performance to that of Leonard Fournette, who weighed 20 pounds more, and the gap between the two players is stark.
Coupled with his injury history at Wisconsin, Clement’s performance at the combine might have dropped him well into the bottom half of the draft.
