Fastest 40-Yard Dash Times

2012 NFL Scouting Combine

What is the 40-yard dash?
The 40-yard dash is an electronic-timed sprint covering 40 yards. It is run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of football players by teams at the NFL Scouting Combine. While WRs, RBs and DBs typically have the fastest times, the 40-yard dash is considered an important Combine event for all positions.
