NFL scouts use the 40-yard dash to assess a player's quickness and acceleration. The amount of time it takes a player to complete this activity might significantly affect his chances of playing collegiate or pro football.
This used to apply solely to "skill" positions like defensive backs, wide receivers, and running backs. But nowadays, practically every position is thought to benefit from a quick 40-yard dash time.
The test's objectives include determining acceleration as well as providing a reliable measure of quickness, athleticism, and speed.
According to sources, running backs come in second at 4.49, following wide receivers and cornerbacks at 4.48. The players' typical 40-yard dash times by position are listed below:
