With the college football season complete, the 2026 NFL scouting combine is one of the last major chances draft prospects have to make an impact on NFL teams.
Throughout the week, prospects took part in interviews and on-field drills, all with the goal of convincing an NFL team they are worth a draft pick. While some players headed into the event knowing they’ll get drafted no matter how they perform, a few players will see their status rise dramatically after delivering standout physical displays.

The main event hit Saturday with quarterbacks, wide receivers and running backs taking the field for workouts. Arkansas QB Taylen Green was a big workout winner with record efforts in the vertical jump and broad jumps, and a blistering 4.36-second run in the 40-yard dash. Mississippi State wide receiver Brenen Thompson put up the fastest time of any player this week in the 40 with a 4.26 run. And Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love continued his push to be a top-10 draft pick with strong showings all around.
The on-field action concludes Sunday with the offensive linemen, starting at 1 p.m. ET.
Thursday’s workouts featured some head-turning performances, led by Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles’ incredible all-around performance and a time of 4.46 seconds in the 40-yard dash, best among linebackers. On Friday, older brother and safety prospect Lorenzo Styles Jr. ran a blazing 4.27 for the best time in the combine so far. And two tight ends made history as Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq ran a 4.39 in the 40, which is a new combine record at his position. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers broke combine records in both the vertical jump (45.5 inches) and broad jump (11 feet, 3 inches).

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love continues to impress during his NFL combine workouts.
Running wheel routes, Love showed good hands catching a throw a bit behind him. But he also demonstrated some quick cutting ability and elusiveness to avoid a trio of photographers on the sideline.
However, Love did slip on a towel a few steps later, which may have put a brief scare into everyone. Let’s keep those sidelines clear, people. (If Love hadn’t needed to look back, there likely wouldn’t have been a near-collision.)

OK, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It’s only the 40-yard dash.
But it’s a good showing for Love.
