NFL combine: 40-yard dash results, measurements and more
Offensive linemen capped the event with their workouts on Sunday
The 2024 NFL scouting combine is in the books after offensive linemen worked out on the final day Sunday in Indianapolis.
We saw quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs take center stage on Saturday and one prospect in particular stole the show.
Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy set a combine record with an official time of 4.21 in the 40-yard dash, eclipsing John Ross (4.22) by a hundredth of a second.
The all-important measurements for quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs came out Saturday as well. Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporter Charles Robinson broke them all on Twitter.
That list also includes measurements for offensive linemen, including potential top 10 picks Olu Fashanu, Joe Alt and JC Latham.
Who boosted their stock? Who surprised? What are the top storylines of the week at Lucas Oil Stadium? Yahoo Sports has you covered.

The year of the OL?
As workouts wind down in Indianapolis, the word from analysts around the combine is how impressive and deep this class of offensive line prospects is, specifically tackles. Yahoo Sports projects 10 offensive linemen to go in the first round this year in our latest mock draft, including three in the top 10.

Tulane's Prince Pines also went down during his 40 attempt and is being attended to by trainers.
Georgia OT Amarius Mims just told me he’s dealing with a right hamstring injury. He doesn’t know how severe it is. He wants to continue testing and competing at the combine. But he’s got ice on the hamstring now.

Many NFL coaches have headed back home (a handful never made it to Indy). There’s also some who went wire to wire. There may be a few more, but I do know Mike McDaniel + Doug Pederson have been here for every drill, every day.
