Listed below are the Top 40 fastest players drafted by the NFL this year. The criteria to be listed required a player to have verified high school track data in the 100 meter dash. We did not include any collegiate times because not enough players ran track in college for a good comparison. There are several very fast players not on the list because we could not find verifiable 100 times on them. We also provided each player’s 40 yard dash time from the NFL Combine or Pro Day (denoted with asterisk).
