This doesn't say whether Chad ran, but if he did it doesn't sound like he beat A.J. These LB speeds are sick.

Faster and better
The linebackers group produced an unbelievable amount of fast guys. This might have been the fastest group ever. There were three prospects that ran under 4.5 in the 40-yard dash: Thomas Howard of UTEP (4.46), Jon Alston of Stanford (4.45) and Ernie Sims of Florida State (4.46).
Former Ohio State linebacker A.J. Hawk is an unbelievable player and competitor. What we saw him do in these drills were tremendous and he turned in a time 4.59. He was joined by three other athletes who also ran under 4.6: Brandon Johnson of Louisville (4.51), Miami's (Ohio) Tarna Nande (4.54) and Miami's (Fla.) Leon Williams (4.59)
A total of 38 linebackers were on the list to work out and 34 of them ran. Four other did not run because of medical reasons. Thirteen linebackers will also work out as defensive backs/safeties, most notably Chad Greenway of Iowa and Howard of UTEP.
