That's helpful - it can show us who has the most top-end speed in the league. The answer probably falls somewhere in the middle of these two data possibilities. A player's straight line speed in workout clothes will generally translate to how fast he can be on the football field. The biggest problem for some of the fastest players who boost think Darius Heyward-Bey of the Raiders is that they don't frequently enough free themselves up with the football in space to show off that blazing speed.
It's sort of irrelevant who the fastest player in the NFL is in a vacuum - teams are ideally looking for the players who have the most effective speed, mixing raw running velocity with the talent to let that speed play. Notably, Mostert continues to look like the fastest player in the NFL more than halfway through the season despite missing time with injury.
Metcalf makes the list for a catch, since these are just plays where a player is holding the ball. But Metcalf's fastest run this season came in chasing down Budda Baker after an interception, when he reached When Ross ran his 4.
That hasn't been touched in the three years since, with rookie Henry Rugs III coming the closest in at 4. It makes sense that Goodwin is fast - he's one of the best athletes in the NFL and competed in the Olympics for the United States as a long jumper.
It's also worth noting in regards to this list that Marquise "Hollywood" Brown of the Ravens has never run a reported yard dash. He's regarded as one of the fastest players in the NFL. None of the fastest times from the NFL playoffs entering the Super Bowl make the top for the entire season.
But there've still been some very fast run speeds, with Mecole Hardman and Tyreek Hill at the top being no surprise. Hardman makes the list twice, and their Super Bowl opponent Scotty Miller also slots in with a fastest-time tied with Lamar Jackson. Tyreek Hill didn't participate in the NFL combine because of a domestic abuse arrest.
Hill's teammate and potential heir apparent in Kansas City is nearly as fast as "the Cheetah. Despite being the class of speed in the NFL, Mostert didn't come in with the fastest yard dash time. He ran a 4. Chubb has yet to break into the charts above, but he had a few of the fastest runs of the season.
Fournette's presence on this list begs the question of how fast his yard dash was. Like Chubb, he's put together speedy long runs despite a relatively pedestrian 40 time of 4. Beckham remains one of the best receivers in the open field thanks in part to the 4. Who is the fastest player in TIER 1? Deion Sanders. Tyreek Hill. Darrell Green.

Percy Harvin. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. Charles Woodson. Adrian Peterson. He did it with speed good enough to clock personal bests of The Trojans' backup rusher set a USC freshman indoor record with a 6. He's on the small side for a running back 5-foot, pounds but he still managed 5. Hines makes his second appearance on our list of the game's fastest players, returning to the Wolfpack this fall as a key member of the receiving corps.
He ran his best meter dash time of His speed translates to special teams, as well. Hines' No, he's not a household name on the football field, but they know him well around the Pac as a track standout. He's clocked a personal-best He's also won a Pac title as part of Stanford's 4x relay team, which holds the indoor and outdoor school record in the event. At 5-foot-7 and pounds, Johnson is probably the smallest guy on the field on Saturdays, but probably the fastest as well.
As a member of the Wildcats track squad, he clocked a wind-aided He was timed at 4. He was used sparingly as a rusher and receiver last fall 28 carries, 5 catches , and returns this fall for his senior year. The sum of Jackson's speed credentials -- from the LSU track team, to the football-standard yard dash, to his proven on-field explosiveness -- makes for a compelling argument as the game's fastest player.
His best time in the meter dash is a blistering In the yard dash, he's been timed at 4. USC's Drake London will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a broken ankle, the school announced. Widely considered one of college football's top prospects, Oregon edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux exited in the first half of the Ducks' season-opening win over Fresno State with a lower left leg injury.
