NFL Combine 40 times tracker: Who has the fastest 40-yard dash in 2025 draft? image

The 40-yard dash is the premier event of the NFL Combine, whether fair or not.

How fast a player can run 40 yards is just one small part of the pre-draft evaluation process, with teams putting more emphasis on college tape along with interviews and perhaps even some other drills. But speed still matters, and everyone loves speed.

A year after Texas’ Xavier Worthy set a new NFL Combine record with a 4.21-second 40-yard dash, history doesn’t appear likely this time around — but it doesn’t take a record-breaking run to wow NFL scouts, particularly if a prospect can blend size and speed.

The Sporting News is tracking the 40-yard dash times from the 2025 NFL Combine. Follow along with each prospect’s time below.
