Solly's official time was 4.69

That seems crazy fast for a d-lineman.

That seems to be eleventh among DL.

On the other hand he was top 5 in: bench, broad jump, 3 cone drill, and 20 yard shuttle.

It is crazy fast; it's true that he finished 11th among the DL group but the ten men who ran faster all weighed in less than Thomas, many of them 20+ lb lighter. The DL group includes a number of pure edge rushers or hybrid types who aren't comparable to Thomas in on-field responsibility. The "DL" with the fastest time (Haason Reddick) is listed at 6-1 and 237 lb. The freakish Myles Garrett (who ran 4.64) is one of the only DL who posted a better 40 time than Thomas and is comparably sized.
