Taylor Mays was timed as fast as 4.19 seconds in the 40-yard dash by former USC coach Pete Carroll when the NFL safety prospect and the new Seattle Seahawks coach were on campus, according to a league source.

Mays’ official time today was 4.43 seconds after unofficial times of 4.24 and 4.34 seconds.

There’s no question that Mays is fast.

What’s more important is how the athletic 6-foot-3, 230-pounder plays.

Per a source, Mays received strong reviews from NFL teams this week at the NFL scouting combine.

Among the NFL brass that were high on Mays: San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary, the former Chicago Bears middle linebacker.

One source predicted that Mays will be drafted in the top 10 selections of the first round in April.
