Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson, the No. 1 receiver in April's NFL draft, only confirmed those ratings during the NFL Combine this weekend in Indianapolis.

Besides being the heaviest receiver at the combine — 239 pounds — Johnson ran the third fastest 40-yard dash time among the receivers he was grouped with.

Johnson clocked 4.35. No. 1 was Yamon Figurs (4.30) of Kansas State, No. 2 was Jason Hill (4.32) of Washington State.

Figurs is 5-feet-11 1/2 inches and 181 pounds; Hill is 6-1, 208. Johnson is 6-4, 239.
