What are the all-time records at each event of the NFL Combine? 

The 2017 NFL Combine will get underway on Feb. 28 when the first group of players get in. Tuesday Feb. 28 will be the arrival date for placekickers, punters, special team players, offensive linemen, and running backs. One of the best parts of the combine are all of the events. Players get judged based on their results in certain events.

Who’s the best all-time at each of the events? Here are the official records for each event at the combine.

Three players are tied for the 10 yard dash record at 1.40 seconds. It was most recently done by Cedric Benson in 2009. Chris Johnson and Justin King were the first two to hit the mark in 2008. The 40 yard dash record has been held for quite some time. Auburn legend Bo Jackson set the record back in 1986 with a time of 4.12 seconds. However, Johnson (4.24 seconds) is considered the record holder since electronic timing started in 1999.

The 20 yard shuttle run is one of the more complicated events. Its record is 3.73 seconds, held by Kevin Kasper, a wide receiver from Iowa, who set it in 2001. The modern record holder? Brandin Cooks at 3.81 seconds in 2011. Jason Allen matched it in 2006. For the 60 yard shuttle, Cooks also holds the record (10.72 seconds). Jason Maehl holds the three cone drill record at 6.42 seconds.

Players are asked to bench press 225 pounds as many times as they can. The record is 51 reps, held by Justin Ernest, a defensive tackle from Eastern Kentucky. This record was set in 1999. However, Stephen Paea is considered the record holder with 49 in 2011.

For the broad jump, the record holder is Byron Jones, who leaped 12’5″ in 2015. On the opposite end of the spectrum, there’s the vertical jump. This measures how high a player can jump. The vertical jump record is held by Gerald Sensabaugh from North Carolina. In 2005, he leaped 46 inches. However, Chris Conley is the recent record holder with 45 inches in 2015.
