The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine kicked off with impressive 40-yard dash times, with Arizona Wildcats safety Treydan Stukes setting the fastest pace at 4.33 seconds. Georgia Bulldogs cornerback Daylen Everette followed closely at 4.38 seconds. Tight ends dominated the early runs, with Vanderbilts Eli Stowers and SMUs RJ Maryland both posting 4.51 seconds. These speeds highlight the athleticism scouts crave for versatile playmakers. Prospects and fans buzzed online about the sub-four point five times, especially from defensive backs like San Diego States Chris Johnson at 4.40 seconds. For tight ends, these numbers boost draft stock, showing they can stretch the field beyond blocking duties. Other standouts included Notre Dames Eli Raridon and Texas Longhorns Jack Endries, both at 4.62 seconds, and Alabama linebacker Justin Jefferson at 4.57 seconds. Slower times, like Texas Tech defensive tackle Lee Hunters 5.18 seconds, underscore position expectations. As the combine rolls on, these early dashes give teams plenty to evaluate ahead of the draft.
