Darrius Heyward-Bey, as you probably know by this point, ran the fastest time in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine earlier this week. Perhaps a 4.3 time is what allows him to describe himself as a top prospect.

Either way, the former Terp receiver, projected to be drafted 18th by ESPN.com’s Todd McShay. That projection follows in line with reports that the Chicago Bears are interested in the speedy and sizeable receiver.

But that same Chicago Sun-Times blog adds that Heyward-Bey may now be a top-15 pick.

It’s all interesting – if a bit confusing. Then again, that’s the NFL Draft for you.
