Arkansas QB Taylen Green breaks combine records with 4.36 dash

Arkansas QB Taylen Green broke NFL combine records with a 43.5-inch vertical and 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump, followed by a blazing 4.36-second 40-yard dash.

Green logged a 43.5-inch vertical and a 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump, surpassing Anthony Richardson Sr.'s 2023 marks. He followed that up with a 4.36 40-yard dash, the fastest time ever for a quarterback at the event.

Analysts compared his build to DK Metcalf, but Charles Davis reported Green firmly rejected the idea of switching to wide receiver, stating, "I'm a quarterback." The former Boise State star showcased elite athleticism that has drawn comparisons to NFL stars despite a collegiate career that didn't match the success of some peers.
