NFL Combine 2012 Results: Robert Griffin III Runs Unofficial 4.38 40-Yard Dash

According to the NFL Network's live coverage of the 2012 NFL Combine, Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Robert Griffin III ran an unofficial time of 4.38 in the 40-yard dash, the fastest time by a quarterback at the NFL combine in over a decade. 

Although the St. Louis Rams are not expected to consider Griffin III with the No. 2 overall selection in the 2012 NFL draft after making it clear that QB Sam Bradford will not be moved in any scenario, they are cheering as hard as anyone for RGIII to excel at the combine. 

The better RGIII performs, the more his perceived value increases.  

The more his value increases, the more the Rams' No. 2 overall draft slot escalates in value. With more value comes a much greater potential return for any trade of the aforementioned No. 2 draft pick, potentially generating a gold mine in return compensation.

St. Louis has already made it clear that it will consider trading the No. 2 pick, and according to ESPN, several teams have already shown interest in trading up.  

According to St. Louis Today, one of those interested teams is the Cleveland Browns, who hold the fourth and 22nd overall picks in the 2012 NFL draft.
