For skill positions like running back, hundredths of a second can make or break them millions of dollars based on draft position.

FRISCO, Texas — The 40-yard dash is an annual tradition at the NFL Scouting Combine, held every year in Indianapolis.

A few weeks before the Combine, WFAA’s Jonah Javad spoke one-on-one with some of the top running backs in this year’s draft class who have been training in Frisco with skills trainer Josh “3hunnid” Hicks:

UNC RB Omarion Hampton

Tennessee RB Dylan Sampson

Georgia RB Trevor Etienne

Texas Tech RB Tahj Brooks
