The 2024 NFL combine had, as expected, a TON of speed.
We saw some truly fast players run the 40-yard dash, including one who broke the record by 0.01 seconds, joining a list of notable names who turned heads in Indianapolis. Although it doesn’t guarantee NFL success, speed can only boost a player’s draft stock.
So as we get set for the annual pre-draft event to end, it’s a good time to look back at the fastest players we saw run the 40 throughout the week, with receivers, cornerbacks and running backs making it to the list.
Here you go, with the highlights of their runs to go along with it:
