A flashy 40-yard dash time tends to get all the headlines around NFL Combine time, and in some cases, improved draft stock for the players with record times.

And while there is a pretty strong argument to be made that 40 times are rarely indicative of long-term successful NFL performance, we thought it would be interesting to see what a team would look like based on the fastest 40-yard dash times in each position.



A few notes:

The team listed was the team the player was drafted by and does not represent their current team

The position listed is what they entered at the combine. In some cases the player has since switched positions
