Xavier Worthy sets NFL combine 40-yard dash record at 4.21 seconds

Former Longhorns WR Xavier Worthy breaks NFL combine record with lightning-fast 4.21-second 40-yard dash, impressing NFL stars and fans.

Former Texas Longhorns wide receiver Xavier Worthy made history at the NFL scouting combine with a lightning-fast time of 4.21 seconds, breaking John Ross III's record by .01 seconds. According to Next Gen Stats, Worthy reached an impressive speed of 24.21 mph during his record-breaking run.

Worthy's incredible performance included an initial 4.25-second run, followed by a second attempt that clocked in at 4.21 seconds. His 10-yard split of 1.45 seconds was the fastest of the weekend, showcasing his exceptional speed and agility.

Comparisons were immediately drawn between Worthy and Ross, who set the previous record in 2017. Ross's draft stock soared after his combine performance, leading to his selection by the Cincinnati Bengals. However, injuries cut short his career, highlighting the challenges that come with high expectations.

The buzz surrounding Worthy only grew stronger as NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and DeSean Jackson praised his speed on social media. Worthy's impressive college stats, including 75 receptions for 1,014 yards and five touchdowns during his time at Texas, further solidified his status as a top prospect in the upcoming draft.

With the draft approaching on April 25, all eyes will be on Worthy as teams consider adding this record-breaking talent to their roster. His speed and skill on the field have already captured the attention of fans and players alike, setting the stage for an exciting future in the NFL.
