PITTSBURGH, June 9 (UPI) -- The Pittsburgh Steelers could be the most loaded team, offensively, in the NFL. But its defense is catching up.
On Wednesday, linebacker Ryan Shazier showed his burners by beating wide receivers Antonio Brown, Markus Wheaton, and Sammy Coates in a head-to-head 40-yard-dash.

Linebacker Vincenzo Williams enjoyed the results, tweeting: "@RyanShazier the fastest player on the team."
He also said that Shazier's "lack of body hair makes him more aerodynamic. This allows him to tap into the speed force."

There is some authenticity to the result, as Shazier ran an unofficial 4.36-second 40-yard-dash at his 2014 pro day, while Brown, Wheaton, and Coates all had times close to 4.4-seconds at their respective pro day events.
