    What are the top 40-yard dash results from the 2022 NFL Combine? See who’s impressed, who’s disappointed, and who has the fastest time!

    What are the top 40-yard dash results from the 2022 NFL Combine? Here, we’ve laid out all the 40-yard results for each NFL Draft prospect, organized by position. Scroll through and see who’s impressed, who’s disappointed, and who has the fastest 40-yard dash time at the Combine!

    Who has the fastest 40-yard dash time at the 2022 NFL Combine?

    Considered the marquee event of the NFL Combine, prospects will battle it out to set the fastest times in the 40-yard dash across all four days of testing. Despite the evolution of in-game tracking, the 40-yard dash still holds the attention of media and fans.

    While the 10-yard split that is measured as part of the 40-yard dash might be a more translatable measure in terms of NFL evaluation, there are still three positions where straight-line speed over the entire distance can be considered relevant. As a result, expect a large number of wide receivers, running backs, and defensive backs to test.

    Furthermore, these three positions dominate the 40-yard dash record books at the Combine. Washington WR John Ross set the record for the 40-yard dash in 2017. His time of 4.22 seconds beat the previous best of 4.24, a record held for nine years by East Carolina RB Chris Johnson.

    Just 10 players have run under 4.3 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the Combine. Could someone add their name to this exclusive club with the fastest 40-yard dash time at the 2022 NFL Combine? While it seems unlikely, we’ll keep you up to date with all the fastest 40-yard dash times as they come through.
