Fastest players to watch at 2023 NFL Combine, top prospects in the fastest 40-yard dash

The 2023 NFL Combine marks an opportunity for teams to identify a game-changing talent to add to their roster, with quarterbacks and highly graded blue-chip prospects undoubtedly drawing a majority of the attention. But when it comes to the events themselves, no drill draws as much buzz as the 40-yard dash. Is this the event where the inevitable first-overall pick will prove their worth? Probably not, but fans and not even scouts alike can downplay the allure of seeing top-line speed on display.

At the 2023 combine, prospects understand that while a sub-4.3 time in the 40-yard dash may not be indicative of a top-tier performance, it can surely boost one's stock ahead of the draft in April. And in a league where players are only getting faster and tougher to cover, adding a speedster to the roster can prove to be an added luxury for a team hoping to make a huge leap in 2023.

Here are a few prospects that we are excited to watch in the 40-yard dash, with some of the fastest times potentially on display from these names.

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama
Keaton Mitchell, RB, East Carolina
Trey Palmer, WR, Nebraska
Darius Rush, CB, South Carolina
Derius Davis, WR, TCU
