The time for both West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te’o is set at 4.77 seconds. If you are looking to bet on Rich Eisen’s time in his yearly 40-yard dash, it is between 6.0 and 6.1 seconds depending on the site. Chris Johnson still holds the fastest 40 time in the history of the combine at 4.24 seconds (for the record, the betting odds of someone beating his record this year are +350, or 3.5 to 1).
The number for the most bench presses is set at 44 or 44.5 depending on the site. The number for the highest vertical jump is set at 43.5 inches and the best broad jump bet is at 11 feet, two inches.
