Will the NFL Combine Witness a Contender Challenging Xavier Worthy's 40-Yard Dash Record?
Previewing the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine at Bovada Sportsbook
🚀 It's nearly time for the much-anticipated 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, and Bovada Sportsbook is offering a thrilling betting opportunity! Place your bets on the fastest 40-yard dash time, the highest vertical jump, and more props.
💥 Will Xavier Worthy's 40-yard dash record be broken? With +600 odds, a $100 wager could fetch a neat $700 payout if Worthy's record (4.21 seconds) crumbles this year. But oddsmakers seem pretty darn confident that Worthy will continue holding the title as the fastest man in the combine. There are -1200 odds against his record being broken in 2025.
🤔 Keep an eye on these speedsters:
- Arian Smith: The Georgia Bulldogs wide receiver is a speedy prospect with a light 6-foot, 175-pound frame. A high school 10.1 100-meter run translates to a 40 time in the low 4.2s, making Smith a potential record-breaker.
- Darien Porter: Iowa State Cyclones defensive back Porter showed off his speed during the Senior Bowl with a 22.17 MPH speed, and a practice speed of 21.26 MPH. The second-fastest speed ever recorded!
💥 Place Your Bets!
There are 165 odds that there will be a 40-yard dash time faster than 4.27 seconds. Bets favor a slower time than 4.27 seconds at -240 odds. Get your bets in before the combine kicks off on March 4th at 3 p.m. ET on NFL Network. And don't forget to explore more events at Bovada Sportsbook!
Keep in mind:
- Last year, Texas' Isaiah Bond attempted to break Xavier Worthy's record but fell short, showing that the record is hard to come by.
- Although there are talented athletes, none have surpassed Worthy's record to date, making it a tough benchmark to beat.
