INDIANAPOLIS — Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy saved the best ever for last. Worthy, the final player to run a 40-yard dash during Saturday's on-field workouts for wide receivers and quarterbacks at the NFL's scouting combine, ran an official time of 4.21 seconds, clocking not only the fastest time so far in this year's edition but a new combine record, according to the NFL.
Worthy's time makes him the annual event's unquestioned speed king and was a small tick of the stopwatch better than Washington wide receiver John Ross' 4.22 at the 2017 combine.
Only the offensive linemen are left to run at this year's combine — in Sunday's session. Texas receiver Xavier Worthy set a new NFL combine record with a 4.21-second 40-yard dash Saturday, 0.1 seconds faster than former Washington receiver John Ross in 2017.
A look at the fastest times since 2003. The Fresno, California, native had run a 4.25 on his first attempt and briefly took off his shoes as if he would not run the second attempt.
