4.05 New Orleans Chocolate City - RB Zac Brooks

In the real world: Brooks, who didn't get many opportunities to shine while at Clemson, and wasn't invited to the Scouting Combine, certainly did shine at his Pro Day workout in March. He was timed as fast as 4.32 in the 40-yard dash. He was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in Round 7, and was the third running back picked by the 'Hawks (after C.J. Prosise and Alex Collins).  He missed 2014 with a foot injury.
In the TUFF world: Earlier in the draft, New Orleans had taken Alex Collins (2.05). So this can be viewed as a sort of handcuff pick. It'll certainly be interesting to see how the Seahawks' backfield shapes up in training camp and preseason as they begin life A.M. (After Marshawn).
