The marquee event at the NFL Scouting Combine is the 40-yard dash, and Xavier Worthy’s record of 4.21 seconds will stand for at least another year as none of the prospects in Indianapolis managed to beat his time.

Who ran the fastest time at this year’s Scouting Combine?

The fastest man at the 2025 Scouting Combine was cornerback Maxwell Hairston from the Kentucky Wildcats. Hairston clocked in at 4.28 seconds, just one-hundredth of a second ahead of his closest competitor, wide receiver Matthew Golden from the Texas Longhorns.

Cornerback Darien Porter from the Iowa State Cyclones and wide receiver Dont’e Thornton Jr. from the Tennessee Volunteers tied for the third-best time at the Combine, both recording 4.30 seconds.

Bond fails to live up to pre-Combine record talk

Isaiah Bond, a wide receiver from the Texas Longhorns, had declared that he could break the 40-yard dash record. The former University of Alabama athlete had even claimed he could run between 4.10 and 4.20 seconds in the process.

However, Bond’s attempt fell short: the 20-year-old finished with a time of 4.39 seconds, 18 hundredths of a second off Worthy’s mark.
