2024 NFL Scouting Combine: Who will run the fastest 40-yard dash in Indianapolis? Twenty names to know
If you want to be the 2024 NFL Scouting Combine 40-yard dash king, you're probably going to have to run that distance in under 4.3 seconds.
John Ross' combine record of 4.22 seconds has held up for six years running, but seven other NFL prospects have run sub-4.3 40-yard dashes since then. And a handful of prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft class might be able to hit the 4.2s this week in Indianapolis.
Typically, the fastest sprinters come from the wide receivers and defensive backs, with running backs a distant third, and this draft crop is no different. That said, this year's competition appears wide open.
One top candidate, Iowa CB Cooper DeJean, reportedly is still rehabbing from injury and won't run or work out at the combine. Miami WR Tyler Harrell, one of the fastest men in college sports, will have to wait until his pro day to run, as he wasn't one of the 321 prospects invited to the combine.
So, who will be the '24 combine's sprinting champ? Here are 20 of the top names to watch.
