2025 NFL combine 40-yard dash tracker: Who ran the fastest this year?
The NFL combine means it's time for the top draft prospects to start their engines for the 40-yard dash.
Events during the NFL combine allow players to display their raw physical abilities in front of coaches and general managers of all 32 NFL teams. While there's no exact correlation between the drill and production at the NFL level, the 40-yard dash garners the most attention of all these tests.
This drill gives NFL hopefuls the best chance to display their straight-line speed. Skill-position players on offense can show off their breakaway speed to make a big play. Meanwhile, defensive players can prove they can cover every inch of the 57,600 square feet on the football field.
Not every draft prospect ran the 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL combine but some notable players who did run popped off the screen. Some, like Isaiah Bond, did not run as fast as they had hoped.
The 40-yard sprints at the 2025 NFL combine have concluded. Paste BN Sports tracked all the fastest 40-times recorded this year. Fans can check out which players were the fastest in each position group and the overall rankings of the fastest prospects in 2025.
