The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine took place in Indianapolis over the past week, giving prospects a chance to showcase their athleticism and speed ahead of the NFL Draft.

One of the most highly anticipated events each year is the 40-yard dash, where players aim to impress scouts with their speed and explosiveness.

Four former Kansas Jayhawks participated in the event, hoping to boost their draft stock. Here’s how they performed in the 40-yard dash.
