Fastest 40-yard Dash Times in NFL Combine History

Everyone remembers Dri Archer for being the fastest man in the 2014 NFL Draft class.

At the 2014 NFL Combine, Dri Archer showed he was the king of speed, as the running back posted a 4.26-second showing in the NFL Combine’s 40-yard dash event. Another of our high school track stars, his freshman season at Kent State University saw him record 246 rushing yards and one touchdown. Archer also recorded 231 receiving yards with three touchdowns.

His best year as a member of the Golden Flash was in 2012 when he racked up 1,429 rushing yards with 16 touchdowns. He also added 561 yards with four touchdowns as a receiver and killed it on special teams. He earned 591 yards and three touchdowns as a kick returner.

Talk about getting all that you can out of a guy, huh?

The Kent State running back earned numerous honors for his spectacular season including MAC Special Teams Player of the Year, and All-MAC First-Team honors as both a kick returner and running back. He was also named an All-American. He was selected in the third round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The former Golden Flash star struggled in his first two seasons with the Steelers, as he registered only 40 yards rushing and 23 yards receiving. He did a little better in returning kickoffs, as he had 515 yards in his first two years with the team, but his career unfortunately ended after three seasons.
