Arkansas QB Taylen Green Breaks NFL Combine Records

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green shattered NFL combine records with a 43.5-inch vertical jump and 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump, surpassing Anthony Richardson Sr.'s marks before clocking a 4.36-second 40-yard dash.

The 6-foot-6, 227-pound signal-caller logged a 43.5-inch vertical and 11-foot, 2-inch broad jump, marking uncharted territory for quarterbacks at the event. Following the explosive testing, Green ran a 4.36 40-yard dash, the second-fastest time ever recorded for a QB at the combine.

NFL analysts compared Green to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf, but Charles Davis noted Green firmly rejected any suggestions of switching to wide receiver. Despite the elite athleticism, the former Boise State standout faces a steep climb to replicate the collegiate success of former Louisville QB Lamar Jackson.
