DeMarcus Van DykeUniversity of Miami cornerback DeMarcus Van Dyke is working out for the Denver Broncos and the Atlanta Falcons today.
Van Dyke ran the 40-yard dash between 4.25 and 4.28 seconds at the NFL scouting combine.
He's regarded as a late-round draft target.
In 50 games, he started 21 games and recorded 80 tackles, three interceptions and 10 pass deflections.
He also ran track.
He started three games last season.
At the combine, he posted the third-fastest time in the past decade.
Van Dyke met with the Baltimore Ravens during the combine.
An angular 174 pounds, the 6-foot defensive back ran the fastest time since Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson (4.24, 2008) and Oakland Raiders cornerback Stanford Routt (4.27, 2005).
Van Dyke's lack of size and strength are a concern, but his speed is rare.
He bench pressed 225 pounds five times at the combine.
