Back to EpisodesNFL Combine: Defensive Prospects Blaze Fast Times
Description
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine kicked off with impressive 40-yard dash times from defensive prospects. Missouri Tigers cornerback Toriano Pride Junior led the pack with a blazing four thirty-two seconds, followed by Georgia Bulldogs Daylen Everette at four thirty-eight and San Diego States Chris Johnson at four forty. Edge rushers and linebackers also showcased solid speed, with Ohio States Arvell Reese and TCUs Kaleb Elarms-Orr clocking in at four forty-six and four forty-seven, respectively. These times signal elite coverage speed for defensive backs and respectable speed for bigger guys like defensive tackles. Linebackers like Pittsburghs Kyle Louis and Alabamas Justin Jefferson also impressed with their times, helping boost their draft stock. More combine events are yet to come, with bench presses and drills set to shake up the leaderboards as teams eye top talent for the upcoming draft.
