John Ross broke the combine 40 record with a 4.22 second forty so you’d have to assume the answer is him, correct? Not necessarily as ESPN’s sports science recently measured both players’ 20 yard split while in pads and the results are eye-opening:
According to Sports Science, John Ross and Dalvin Cook had the same 20-yard split in pads: 2.67.

According to Sports Science, Cook has the second fastest top speed of any RB they've tested in the past five years.

4-star QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson is down to two; FSU did not make the cut.
FSU has taken the lead for this probable 2019 5-star out of Georgia; It’s very early for the 2019 class but FSU is looking like it make take a few 4-5-star prospects out of Georgia for that cycle.
FSU could greatly benefit from the NCAA’s new proposed early signing period.
