Alabama guard Tyler Booker recorded a 5.38-second 40-yard dash on Sunday at the NFL Scouting Combine.

Only two players who ran the 40 at this year’s combine clocked a slower best time for their two attempts at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. South Carolina center Torricelli Simpkins III came home in 5.45 seconds and Iowa defensive tackle Yahya Black ran a 5.39.

But Booker’s time didn’t challenge for the slowest 40 by a player from an Alabama high school or college in this century, when there have been 14 NFL prospects from the state who ran slower times.

The slowest time by a player with Alabama football roots is 5.71 seconds. Crimson Tide defensive tackle Terrence Cody recorded that time at the 2010 NFL Combine. The two-time consensus All-American weighed in at 354 pounds for that year’s combine.

Booker weighed 321 pounds on Sunday.

Despite the 40 time, Cody went to the Baltimore Ravens in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He played in five seasons with the Ravens and won a championship ring for the 2012 campaign when Baltimore defeated the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 in Super Bowl XLVII.

Booker is considered a first- or early second-round pick as NFL teams prepare for the draft on April 24-26 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The 10 slowest 40-yard dash times recorded by players from Alabama high schools and colleges at the NFL Combine in his century include:

• Alabama defensive tackle Terrence Cody: 5.71 seconds in 2010
• Auburn guard Jeno James (Sidney Lanier): 5.62 seconds in 2000
• Alabama offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio: 5.59 seconds in 2014
