The premier event of the NFL Combine is undoubtedly the 40-yard dash. Each drill has its own importance, especially for specific positions, but for whatever reason, the 40-yard dash has become the staple event from the weekend.
I get it. We all like races. We race cars, horses, people on ice skates, people on foot, people in the water. So, essentially the 40-yard dash is essentially watching a track and field event, and people like that. It is also pretty important for every since NFL position, whether you’re using the full 40-yard dash time or just the 10 and 20-yard splits.
