The assumption has been that Jackson's 4.12 was a hand-timed 40. Instead, they begin running when they are ready. That's because the combine participants aren't reacting to a starter's gun. It's not true electronic timing because while the clock is stopped electronically at the finish line, it's started by hand on the first movement by the runner. The 40-yard sprints at the combine have had semi-electronic timing since 1999. One detail in his favor: modern Combine dashes aren’t entirely electronic, either. Jumps higher than Julio Jones /usgR6vJvOn- NFL Research March 2, 2018Īlso, Bo Jackson, Auburn, 1986: Bo’s hand-timed 4.12 has been debated for decades. Penn State RB Saquon Barkley at 2018 Combine: Oh also, extremely strong for a little guy, as his 29 bench reps rank #5 among all RBs 235 pounds or smaller. His 41-inch vert is nearly a record among all RBs, clearing every other 230-pound RB ever by more than an inch. Saquon Barkley, Penn State 2018: Extremely explosive for a big guy, as 4.4 is the second-fastest time ever posted by an RB 230 pounds or heavier.Chris Johnson, East Carolina, 2008: Held the overall official 40-yard dash record until 2017: 4.24 seconds.Note: Arkansas’ Matt Jones would be the pick, based on his 4.4-second 40 and other impressive numbers at 6’6 in 2005, but he was projected as an H-back and ended up at WR.

Old Combine records are spotty, but I’ve used a combination of numbers from the NFL and Pro Football Reference. Workout warriors only, with special consideration given to those who moved fast while also being big.
These picks are based entirely on what happened at the Combine, not on college careers, pro careers, Draft results, or anything else. Let’s stack those legends against each other. The NFL Combine, America’s most-watched indoor exercise convention, annually produces workout legends.
