The 2011 NFL Draft entrants at the 2011 NFL Combine certainly have plenty of talent. But will any of them come close to matching the all-time NFL Combine records? You be the judge: thanks to Top End Sports, we have some of the best numbers in NFL Combine History, including for the 40-yard dash.
NFL Combine Records: Can The 2011 Draft Class Touch All-Time Fastest 40-Yard Dash And Other Marks?
Caveats: these aren’t the NFL’s official numbers, because the NFL doesn’t keep official numbers, and they only date back to 1999. So if Deion Sanders blazed a ridiculous 40-yard dash time back in his day — and rumor has it that he ran in the 4.19 range — it’s not part of these records.
