The linebackers didn't provide too many fireworks at the combine Monday. One player that stood out for the wrong reasons was LSU's Ali Highsmith. He built his second-round rep as a burner, but ran slower than 4.9 officially on both of his forty runs. His second time was over five seconds. The Combine, like politics, can sometimes be all about expectations. Highsmith fell well short Monday.

Unofficially, no one ran faster than a 4.5 forty by the NFL Network's clock.
