Every year in the lead-up to the NFL Draft, there is a fascination with a 40-yard dash of various prospects. Although metrics have little to do with the success of players at the pro level, football fans love speed and fast players. For example, during the NFL Combination, there is a big talk time 40 times every year.
However, during the 2021 NFL offseason, there is no combination. The league decided not to host one this year due to concerns about the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic. The event will likely return next year, but with the event being canceled, the 40-yard dash was not at center level as it has been in the past.
Still, prospects are exhibiting drills in their pro days and while the spotlight may not be as bright at those events, there will certainly be a certain element of pride for the fastest players in the 2021 NFL Draft. And needless to say, those top-gear contestants will have to move past each other to get more attention ahead of the draft.

Watching a fast 40-yard dash does not guarantee that you will have a successful NFL career. Just ask John Ross, who famously entered the 4.19-second 40-yard dash and moved to the No. 9 pick for the Cincinnati Bengals. In four NFL seasons, Ross has played in 27 matches and caught just 51 catches for 733 yards. He has 10 touchdowns, but is not the dynamic, Tyreek Hill-type deep threat that the Bengals hoped they were getting.
But hey, Ross still holds the NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash, so he’ll always have it. It would be the likes of Offshin, Anthony Schwartz, Rondell Moore and Jessie Horn trying to defeat that record in their professional days. But will they succeed?
Below is the fastest players tracker in the form of quarterbacks, wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, offensive linemen, defensive linemen, linebackers and defensive backs, who hit their 40 runs in the 2021 NFL offshin.
