The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine wrapped up this past week and brought about some noteworthy developments for this year’s draft class. Every year, certain prospects see their draft stock rise based on their combine performance while others’ stock takes a hit.
Arguably the most-watched drill of the combine is the 40-yard dash. Over the weekend, wide receiver Xavier Worthy out of Texas set a new 40-yard dash record with a time of 4.21 seconds. That broke the previous record of 4.22 seconds held by John Ross in 2017.
In doing so, Worthy put his name on the map for a national audience and could see his stock rise as a result.
