A look at the fastest 20-yard shuttle times at the NFL Combine, along with a recap of where the players were drafted, and how successful they were in their NFL playing careers.
February 18, 2016The ability to adjust and change directions can play as much of a factor in football as power and speed. With the ball up in the air, the one who adjusts the quickest is going to win the battle.
