Former Georgia running back Todd Gurley knew his former teammate Keith Marshall was going to destroy the 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL scouting combine.

With the 2018 combine beginning tomorrow, Georgia football took a look back at Marshall’s 40-yard dash from a couple of years ago. On the live stream of Marshall’s speed test, NFL Network flashed a tweet from Gurley prior to Marshall’s run reading “@truthh4 (Marshall’s twitter handle) 4.3 coming soon.”

Sure enough, Gurley was onto something because Marshall ran a 4.31-second 40-yard dash, which was the fastest time at the 2016 combine.

Marshall missed the 2017 season with the Washington Redskins due to a torn right patella tendon, which he suffered in the summer.
