WATCH: Brenen Thompson records 2026 NFL Scouting Combine fastest 40

The NFL Scouting Combine is coming to a close as the quarterbacks, wideouts, and running backs take the field. The combine has seen a number of amazing performances.

One of the most-watched events is the 40-yard dash. It’s a quiet competition at times over who will record the fastest time.

While no one broke the two-year record, one prospect stood out among his peers. Mississippi State’s Brenen Thompson won this year’s 40-yard dash.

Thompson recorded an outstanding 4.26 40 time at the NFL Scouting Combine. That is good enough for the top spot in the entire 2026 class.

A number of players impressed, disappointed, and even surprised those watching with their 40-yard dash. Thompson made sure to make his mark as he took the top spot.

Tomorrow, offensive linemen take the field to do their workouts. While they will also have to run their 40’s, I think it’s safe to say no one will beat that mark.

Thompson is currently projected as an early-day-three pick going into the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine. Did his overall performance do enough to get him higher on other teams’ boards?
