NFL Combine: Who holds the all-time record for each drill?

The NFL Scouting Combine is underway in Indianapolis, and for every prospect, the objective is simple: impress the scouts.

There is no better way to do that than by threatening one of the long-standing records in the position drills that define the week, all of which are streaming live on DAZN for NFL Game Pass subscribers.

With hundreds of elite athletes passing through the Combine each year, setting a new benchmark is a badge of pride and can provide a meaningful boost on draft boards across the league.

Here are the all-time records at the NFL Combine.

40-yard dash

Xavier Worthy, WR, Texas - 4.21 seconds (2024)

Worthy was drafted with the 28th pick in the first round by the Kansas City Chiefs. He's posted 1,170 receiving yards and seven touchdowns in the two seasons since.
