Iconic NFL Combine Moments Highlight

As the 2026 NFL Combine approaches, we look back at the most unforgettable moments in the event's history.

The NFL Combine has produced several legendary moments over the years. In 1989, Deion Sanders stunned onlookers with a 4.27-second 40-yard dash before reportedly running straight to the airport. Meanwhile, Tom Brady's 2000 combine performance, featuring a slow 5.28-second 40 time, became ironic considering his future as a seven-time Super Bowl champion.

Other notable moments include Stephen Paea breaking the bench press record in 2011. While the combine doesn't always predict success, these iconic moments have become part of NFL lore as draft prospects showcase their athletic abilities.
