NFL Combine: Historic Speed on Display

The 2026 NFL Combine featured the fastest defensive class in Combine history, with cornerbacks and safeties delivering exceptional performances. Toriano Pride Jr. ran the fastest 40-yard dash at 4.32 seconds, while safeties like Michael Taaffe impressed.

Tight ends also made history as Kenyan Sadiq and Eli Stowers set Combine records. Standout performers included Charles Demmings (Stephen F. Austin) and Daylen Everette (Georgia), whose workouts boosted their draft stocks.
