Taylen Green breaks three NFL Combine quarterback records in Indianapolis

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has shattered multiple positional records at the NFL Scouting Combine, clocking a historic 40-yard dash time alongside unprecedented jump figures.

The top-10 prospect stunned scouts at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday by recording an official time of 4.36 seconds in the sprint.

This rapid pace was complemented by an explosive 43.5-inch vertical leap and a broad jump measuring 11ft 2in.

Data from ESPN Research confirms that all three markers stand as records for a quarterback since tracking began in 2003.

Eclipsing Richardson and Griffin III

The 6ft 5in athlete’s performance surpassed the previous vertical and broad jump benchmarks set by Indianapolis Colts passer Anthony Richardson Sr in 2023.

Richardson had posted a 40.5-inch vertical and a 10ft 9in broad jump before being selected fourth overall in that year’s draft.

On the track, the Arkansas standout’s speed eclipsed the 4.41-second dash recorded by Robert Griffin III following his Heisman-winning campaign at Baylor in 2012.

Green is now the only quarterback in the modern combine era to break the 4.4-second barrier.

Draft stock and college pedigree

This athletic showcase arrives as NFL franchises continue to evaluate a quarterback class headlined by Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza.

Prior to the workouts in Indianapolis, the former Boise State starter was rated as the eighth-best quarterback prospect by analyst Mel Kiper Jr.

Green brings significant experience to the professional ranks, having served as a starter for four years across his collegiate career.

During his final season with the Razorbacks, the dual-threat passer accumulated 2,714 yards through the air and 19 touchdowns.

His mobility was further evidenced by 777 rushing yards and eight scores on the ground.

Despite the physical dominance displayed in Indianapolis, scouts note that consistency remains a focus area regarding his extended throwing motion.
