Marcus Mariota led all quarterbacks on Saturday with his 40-yard dash time of 4.52 seconds at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Jameis Winston's fastest time was 4.97 seconds, barely beating the 4.98 posted by 307-pound offensive lineman Ali Marpet.

The times are unofficial.

Winston and Mariota, both of whom won the Heisman Trophy while starring at Florida State and Oregon, respectively, are widely considered the top two quarterback prospects in the 2015 draft class.

In SI.com's latest mock draft, Mariota is projected to be selected at No. 1 overall by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Winston is projected to be selected at No. 6 by the New York Jets.
