2026 NFL Combine: Defensive Backs Set New Speed Records

Cornerback Charles Demmings from Stephen F. Austin posted a 4.41‑second 40‑yard dash, while Missouri's Toriano Pride Jr. set a new combine record with a 4.32‑second run. Georgia's Daylen Everette and Washington's Tacario Davis also impressed with top speeds.

The defensive secondary is a key need for teams like the New York Giants, and the depth of talent makes it hard to single out the top performers.
