At the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Arkansas quarterback taylen green delivered a record-setting day that has sharpened draft debate.

40-yard dash: 4. 36 at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis

Green ran an official 40-yard dash in 4. 36 seconds at the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine held in Indianapolis, completing the run inside Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. That time is the first sub-4. 4 clocking by a quarterback in the recorded span stretching back to at least 2003 and eclipses the prior bests for the position.

Vertical and broad jumps outpace previous quarterback marks

Alongside the 40, Green posted a 43½-inch vertical jump and a broad jump of 11-2. Those two marks, combined with the 40 time, stand as records for quarterbacks going back to at least 2003. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr., who was selected with the No. 4 pick in the 2023 draft, held the previous bests for the position with a 40½-inch vertical and a broad jump of 10 feet 9 inches.

Size and college résumé underline upside: 6-foot-5⅞ and 227 pounds

Measured at 6-foot-5⅞ inches tall and 227 pounds at the combine, Green brings prototypical size to the position. He was a four-year college starter, spending two seasons at Boise State followed by two seasons at Arkansas, where he recorded eight 300-yard passing games across those two years.

Production this past season: passing and rushing numbers

This past season Green threw for 2, 714 yards with 19 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He added 777 yards on the ground and eight rushing touchdowns, statistics that contributed to his rising profile ahead of the draft.

Draft picture: top-10 prospect, No. 8 in Mel Kiper Jr. 's rankings and the broader QB landscape

Listed as a top-10 quarterback prospect, Green is the No. 8-rated quarterback in Mel Kiper Jr. 's latest position rankings. His performance arrives in a draft year in which rankings beyond the expected No. 1 pick, Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, remain in flux for many evaluators and teams.
