Mississippi State receiver Brenan Thompson recorded the fastest 40-yard dash at the 2026 Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. His time was 4.26 seconds.
This performance places Thompson 0.05 seconds behind the Combine record of 4.21 seconds, which was established two years prior by Chiefs receiver Xavier Worthy.
Thompson's 40-yard dash time also puts him in a five-way tie for the fifth-fastest all-time mark recorded at the Indianapolis event. For comparison, running back Chris Johnson achieved a 4.24-second 40-yard dash in 2008.
