Former Tennessee receiver Marquez North turned a few heads at the NFL Combine on Saturday when he ran a sub-4.5 40-yard dash.
4.49 for Marquez North at 6'2", 223 is very good.

Proving the first attempt was no fluke, North followed up with a time of 4.48. He also benched 225 pounds 17 times, good for fifth among the group of 40 receivers who participated.

Curt Maggitt, the other former Vol who attended the event, participated in interviews and completed his physical, but unfortunately spent most of his time answering questions about “the culture in Knoxville” and his alleged physical altercation with Drae Bowles.
According to Andy Staples, Maggitt directed questions to his attorney, Jeff Hagood.
When asked if NFL teams might frown upon a player who answers questions with “call my lawyer,” Maggit answered “that’s their decision.”
#Vols LB Curt Maggitt says UT culture has improved from time he arrived: "It's very different..I'm proud to say I'm part of that change."
