Texas Longhorns wide receiver Xavier Worthy is the new record holder for the fastest 40-yard dash time in NFL Combine history.
On Saturday, Worthy ran a 40-yard dash time that was clocked at 4.21 seconds, marking the fastest ever. The record was previously held by John Ross III, who ran a time of 4.22 seconds at the 2017 Combine:

That, folks, is how you boost your draft stock.
At the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, Kalon Barnes (now with the Pittsburgh Steelers) fell just short of matching Ross’ record, running a time of 4.23 seconds.
Worthy is widely projected to be a late first-rounder or early-to-mid second-round selection in April’s 2024 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-1, 172-pound wide receiver racked up 85 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns in his final season of college football.
366-Pound Texas Defensive Lineman T’Vondre Sweat Broke The Internet By Running Insane 40-Yard Dash At NFL Combine (VIDEO)
Texas Longhorns defensive lineman T’Vondre Sweat is certainly a man on a mission to improve his stock for the 2024 NFL Draft.
The 6-foot-4, 366-pound lineman has been a major talking point across the scouting world today after running an impressive 40-yard dash time of 5.27 during the NFL Scouting Combine on Thursday.
Sweat broke the internet by running a time that is awfully impressive for a player of his size:
If you want a comparison, Tampa Bay Buccaneers star defensive tackle Vita Vea (6-foot-4, 347 pounds) ran a 40-yard dash time of 5.10 seconds back in 2017. And Kansas City Chiefs all-world defensive tackle Chris Jones (6-foot-6, 310 pounds) had a 5.03 40-yard dash time back in 2016.
The fact that Sweat was only a little bit slower than those two says a lot, given that Sweat weighs 19 more pounds than Vea and 56 more pounds than Jones, respectively.
