James runs great 40-yard dash

Former Oregon running back LaMichael James ran an unofficial time of 4.37 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine Sunday in Indianapolis.

He ran a 4.37 again on his second attempt. His time is the fastest among the first group of running backs working out today.

James has been projected by many as a second-round, or third-round pick in this year's draft.

Running a sub-4.40 electronic 40 time should lock him into that range. But again, the 4.37 was unofficial.
