People continue to be amazed by the athletic skills of University of Washington football players at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Yet  they're finding out there was good reason the Huskies advanced all the way to the College Football Playoff championship game — guys like Devin Culp are truly gifted physically.

On Friday in Indianapolis, the 6-foot-4, 237-pound former Husky tight end made everyone do a double-take when he recorded an official 4.47-second 40-yard dash.

Culp ran just that one time and called it good — his clocking was the fourth fastest at the combine among players at his position since 2003.

Officials said Culp reached a top speed of 23.25, which was nearly a full mile per hour than any other tight in this year's combine.

"I'm coming back to Seattle feeling great," the Husky standout said. "Just had to rely on my preparation and trust God."

Culp amazed everyone during his six years at the UW, more recently catching a pass and doing a full hurdle over a California defensive back in 2022 and coming up with a sensational 22-yard touchdown reception in the back of the end zone against USC.

The Huskies have a long history of providing NFL-ready tight ends with players such as Cade Otton and Drew Sample, who currently are drawing paychecks for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Cincinnati Bengals, respectively.
