A former track star, hehas recorded a and in-game speeds of 23 miles per hour. He could be the man to beat this weekend.Best value: Xavier Worthy (+600)We see good value with Worthy at +600, as the Longhorns receiver hit a top speed of 22.7 miles per hour in a game against Iowa State
Dallas Keuchel Jersey last November. That's Tyreek Hill-level speed, and if he gets off the block fast he could easily beat Owens' 40-yard dash time.MORE: Head-to-head 40-yard dash odds*odds via Player 1 Player 2 Jayden Daniels (QB, LSU):+108 Blake Corum (RB, Mich):-140Best bet: Blake Corum (-140)This makes for a cool head-to-head contest, and we're sure there will be plenty of bettors who get cute and pick the freak-athlete QB to best the running back in the dash.But let's be serious here Daniels logged a 4.58 40 in high school and Corum recorded a 4.4. Just because Daniels is the fastest QB doesn't make him a good bet against a speedy running back.MORE: Fastest 40-yard dash time over/underOdds via Over Under 4.265 seconds (-115) 4.265 seconds (-115)Best bet: OVER (-114)Again, don't hunt for storylines or follow your heart with your wagers. We would all love to see John Ro s's 4.22-second 40-yard dash record broken, but the odds of it happening remain slim.Only six players have ever run the 40 at the Combine in 4.26 seconds or le s: Ro s (2017), Kalon Barnes (2022), Chris Johnson (2008), DJ Turner II (2023), Riq Woolen (2022), and Dri Archer (2014).Players will certainly come through who are faster than Ro s, but the 40 is also all about moment-by-moment execution and getting off the block at the very instant the timer begins.

You have to go with the probability and bet the fastest recorded time to be slower than 3.896.Fastest 3 cone drill time over/underOdds via Over Under 6.295 seconds (-150) 6.295 seconds (+120)Best bet: OVER (-150)The fastest 3 cone drill time ever recorded was 6.42 seconds by Oregon's Jeff Maehl in 2011.
