In the books

The best performances so far at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine include the 4.26-second 40-yard dash by Michigan cornerback DJ Turner II, 44-inch vertical jump by Illinois safety Jartavius Martin, 138-inch broad jump by Kansas State cornerback Julius Brents, 6.57-second three-cone drill by Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 3.93-second shuttle run by Smith-Njigba and 34 repetitions in the bench press by Michigan defensive tackle Mazi Smith.

Combine bests

The NFL has been holding a league-inclusive combine since 1985, but the records are sketchy for the 20th century events. Profootballreference.com has results since 2000, and these are the top performances in each of the combine drills since then:

· 40-yard dash: 4.22 seconds by Washington wide receiver John Ross in 2017 and Tennessee wide receiver Donte Stallworth in 2002.

· Vertical jump: 46 inches by North Carolina safety Gerald Sensabaugh in 2005.

· Broad jump: 147 inches by Connecticut cornerback Byron Jones in 2015.

· Three-cone drill: 6.28 seconds by Oklahoma defensive back Jordan Thomas in 2018.

· Shuttle run: 3.73 seconds by Iowa wide receiver Kevin Kasper in 2001.

· Bench press: 49 repetitions of 225 pounds by Oregon State defensive tackle Stephen Paea in 2011.

The three-cone drill is meant to measure a player’s ability to change directions while the shuttle run tests a player’s lateral quickness.
