Aaron Donald no longer owns the record for the fasted 40-yard dash time ever by a defensive tackle. That’s now held by another former Pitt Panther, Calijah Kancey.

The standout defensive lineman blazed a 4.67 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine on Thursday, the first day of workouts for prospects in Indianapolis. That barely edged out Donald’s record time of 4.68, which he set in 2014.

Per @NextGenStats, Pittsburgh’s Calijah Kancey ran an official 4.67-second 40-yard dash, the fastest time recorded by a defensive tackle at the NFL Combine since 2003.

It was a ridiculously impressive time by the 281-pound defensive tackle from Pitt. So impressive that the NFL’s Twitter account overlayed it with Donald’s 40-yard dash from nine years ago.

Both players were moving.
