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.<\/p>\n

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\u2019ll get drafted no matter how they perform, a few players will see their status rise dramatically after delivering standout physical displays.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> 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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

The on-field action concludes Sunday with the offensive linemen, starting at 1 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

Thursday\u2019s workouts featured some head-turning performances, led by Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles\u2019 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\u2019s 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).<\/p>\n

Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love continues to impress during his NFL combine workouts.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

However, Love did slip on a towel a few steps later, which may have put a brief scare into everyone. Let\u2019s keep those sidelines clear, people. (If Love hadn\u2019t needed to look back, there likely wouldn\u2019t have been a near-collision.)<\/p>\n

OK, let\u2019s not get ahead of ourselves. It\u2019s only the 40-yard dash.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s a good showing for Love.<\/p>\n
