2025 NFL Combine Kicks Off with Focus on 40-Yard Dash Performances

The annual event in Indianapolis showcases draft prospects' athleticism, with the 40-yard dash as a key highlight.

The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine began today in Indianapolis, featuring 329 draft prospects undergoing drills, interviews, and medical evaluations.
The 40-yard dash remains the most anticipated drill, with players aiming to impress scouts with their speed ahead of the NFL Draft in April.
Last year, Kansas City Chiefs rookie Xavier Worthy set a combine record with a 4.21-second 40-yard dash, showcasing the importance of speed in the evaluation process.
Top 40-yard dash times so far include Ty Robinson from Nebraska clocking an unofficial 4.83 seconds, leading the defensive linemen group.
The schedule for the 40-yard dash includes linebackers running today, with other position groups, including quarterbacks and wide receivers, set to run later this week.
