Everyone knows that DeSean Jackson is fast. But the fastest? Maybe.

Jackson’s official 40 time at the NFL Combine (4.35 seconds) was the fastest of any receiver in Indianapolis. This should help D-Jax, especially when it comes to countering is small-frame. Jackson measured in at 5-foot-9 and 169 pounds. That’s extremely small into today’s NFL.

This has some scouts worried, as Gil Brandt, a current NFL.com analyst and former Dallas Cowboys scout told the San Francisco Chronicle.

“See, this is why it’s hard to grade somebody like that,” Brandt said. “But sometimes they ‘engage’ those (smaller) guys up on the line of scrimmage and they’re not strong enough to get off the bump.”

Jackson’s time, however, wasn’t the fastest unofficial time. That went to App. State’s Dexter Jackson, who some scouts clocked in at 4.27.

How did other Cal athletes do?

• Justin Forestt had the fourth-best bench press for all running backs, with 26 bench presses.

• Craig Stevens was the strongest of all tight ends, as he was able to complete 27 bench presses.

• Mike Gibson has the best time in the three-cone drill for offensive linemen. He finished in just over seven seconds.
