Bryce Lance and Jeff Caldwell both ran sub-4.35 40-yard dashes. Lance was clocked at 4.34, while Caldwell came in at a 4.31 official time. Each of the receivers also impressed at the vertical jump. Lance leapt 41.5" in the air for his vertical jump, and Caldwell had an official height of 42" for his attempt.

Lance and Caldwell's performances, and given that they are both taller than 6-foot-3, actually put them in the Combine history books. The two wide receivers joined Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf as the only three wide receivers in Combine history to run a sub-4.35 40 and have a vertical of at least 40" while being 6-foot-3 or taller.
