RUN FOR THE MONEY: If it works out the way it did last year, the Combine will be fast.
The average 40-yard dash time in 2025 was 4.67 seconds, the fastest in Combine history since 2003.
The fastest run last year was Kentucky cornerback Maxwell Hairston (30th overall, Buffalo) at 4.28, which tied for the 13th-fastest 40 in Combine history since 2003.
The all-time record in the 40 belongs to Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy (28th overall, Kansas City), who posted a 4.21 in 2024.
Last year was also the tallest Combine on record, with the average participant checking in at 6-foot-21/4.
