NFL Combine results for the fastest 40 times for the 2026 QB draft class, including Taylen Green from Arkansas.
The trend for quarterbacks at the NFL Combine has been to answer some questions, but they save their on-field work until their Pro Day, when it can be all about them (typical quarterback). Of course, Pro Days are also nearly all scripted, putting the player in the best chance to succeed. So, many of the top prospects did not participate in drills or testing. However, when that happens, it opens the door for someone like Taylen Green to come in and steal the show with his NFL Combine results.
Let’s take a look at the 40-yard dash times from the 2026 NFL Combine results for the quarterback position.

| Sawyer Robertson | Baylor | 4.64 |
| Jalon Daniels | Kansas | 4.65 |

Taylen Green Combine Results
While a 40-yard dash time is rarely the reason why a quarterback gets drafted, it can get you noticed and ultimately be a tiebreaking factor when determining which player to go with. In today’s NFL, a quarterback does not need to be a “dual threat,” but they must be mobile to some extent. Clearly, Taylen Green’s Combine results prove he is the athletic freak amongst this draft class, if a team is looking for that.
Taylen Green’s 40 time was 4.36 seconds, which is the fastest by a QB since 2003. His vertical jump (43.5 inches) and broad jump (11 feet, 2 inches) are also the best measured by a QB at the NFL Combine since 2003.
