INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- Another day, another Terp shining at the NFL Combine. Sunday was safety
Nick Cross' day and he stood out, posting the fastest 40-yard dash time of any safety with a 4.34.
Nick became the second Terp this weekend to have the fastest time at their position after Chig Okonkwo led all tight ends with a 4.52. Read about Chig's amazing day

Cross was named a winner of day four of the combine by the
NFL.com's Chad Rheuter.
"This former Terrapin took advantage of his opportunity at the combine after declaring for the draft as an underclassman. His 4.34 40-yard time (1st among safeties), 37-inch vertical (4th) and 10-foot-10 broad jump (3rd) all belied his thick 6-foot-1, 212-pound frame. It was tough not to notice his combination of strength and agility throughout the on-field drills. Cross was fluid and fast in his pedal and transition in the "W" drill, and caught nearly everything. There's a tough competition brewing to be among the top four safeties in this year's draft, and Cross made a strong case he's deserving of that honor."
Nick's official measurables:
VERY athletic.
Nick definitely conquered.
