Taylen Green Breaks QB Combine Jump Records, Clocks 4.37 Unofficial 40

The performance elevates interest without changing concerns about his readiness as a passer.

Overview

  • Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green set new NFL Combine marks for the position with a 43.5-inch vertical and an 11-foot-2 broad jump, surpassing Anthony Richardson’s 2023 records.
  • His 4.37-second 40-yard dash was unofficial and ranks among the fastest recorded by a quarterback at the Combine.
  • Green’s jumps exceeded Richardson’s by three inches in the vertical and five inches in the broad, underscoring rare explosiveness for a 6-foot-6, 227-pound passer.
  • Analysts say the showing could lift him above earlier late-round projections, though NFL.com’s evaluation still grades him as a developmental prospect with backup-to-starter upside.
  • Green told NFL Media he has not been asked to work out at another position and would decline a position switch, reinforcing his commitment to playing quarterback.
