The 2024 NFL Scouting Combine concluded on Sunday with performances by the offensive linemen. The week-long festivities were filled with breathtaking highs. Several prospects took advantage of the show-stopping event by improving their pre-draft stock. 

With the acclaimed “Underwear Olympics” now officially in our rearview mirror, we've identified five prospects that won this year’s NFL Combine.

XAVIER WORTHY, WR, TEXAS

Texas wide receiver Xavier Worthy was always considered a candidate to run the fastest 40-yard dash this year. The Longhorn speedster ran a then-combine-best 4.25 on his first attempt. Seemingly dissatisfied with that result, Worthy decided to run a second time. Worthy's follow-up attempt broke John Ross' all-time record of 4.22 by 0.01, officially clocking in at 4.21!

Worthy also recorded a 40-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-11 broad jump. Worthy used the NFL Combine to solidify himself as the most breathtaking athlete in the 2024 NFL Draft. Initially projected as a late-first to early-second-round pick, Worthy did his best to guarantee he'll hear his name called within the opening 32 selections.

DALLAS TURNER, EDGE, ALABAMA

Alabama EDGE Dallas Turner put on an absolute show while confirming he'll be the first pass-rusher drafted. Turner proved to be an athletic outlier by running the 40-yard dash in a blazing-fast 4.46 seconds. That result placed Turner in the 97th percentile historically.

The Fort Lauderdale, Florida native also vertically jumped a position-high 40.5 inches. Turner’s 10-foot-7 broad jump tied for second-best among all EDGE defenders as well. Those lower-body explosion scores place Turner in the 97th and 93rd percentile, respectively.

Turner also won the weigh-in process by measuring in at 6-foot-2 and 247 pounds with arms longer than 34 inches and an 83-inch wingspan. The 2024 Combine began without a clear-cut top-ranked defender. Turner claimed that title with an eye-opening performance within the walls of Lucas Oil Stadium.

ISAAC GUERENDO, RB, LOUISVILLE

The NFL Combine provides the perfect environment for a natural athlete like Isaac Guerendo to display his abilities. The former 100-meter state champion ran a position-best 4.33 40-yard dash, the third-fastest time among all prospects in attendance. Guerendo also led all participating ball-carriers in the vertical (41.50 inches) jump and finished second in the broad (10-foot-9).

Guerendo undeniably improved his pre-draft stock. Scouts were already intrigued by the Cardinals playmaker, who possesses terrific size at 6-foot, 221 pounds, and rushed for 810 yards and 11 touchdowns this past season. Guerendo is now firmly in the day-two conversation.

ADONAI MITCHELL/BRIAN THOMAS JR., WRs, TEXAS/LSU

We decided to group these two big-bodied vertical threats together because both of them recorded similar results while ensuring they'll be top-20 selections in April. Brian Thomas Jr. ran an official 4.33 40, and Adonai Mitchell clocked a 4.34. Together, Thomas Jr. and Mitchell became the second and third wide receivers since 2015 to measure in at least 6-foot-2, 205 pounds and run 4.35 or faster, joining D.K. Metcalf. Pretty good company to keep.

Mitchell's 11-foot-4 broad jump led all receivers and he nearly topped 40 inches in the vertical. Meanwhile, Thomas Jr. leaped a 38.5 inch vertical and his 1.50 10-yard split was a hair off equaling his teammate Worthy (1.49) for the position-best result. Mitchell and Thomas Jr. are now both expected to be drafted in the 10-20 range.

BRADEN FISKE, DT, FLORIDA STATE

Braden Fiske is truly a rare, rare specimen at the defensive tackle position. Fiske established himself as the premier athlete among his peers in the 2024 NFL Draft by topping the leaderboard in three separate testing categories. The gap-penetrating wrecking ball posted position-best marks in the vertical (33.5 inches), broad (9-foot-9), and 40-yard dash (4.78).

Fiske placed in the 91st percentile or better in the three athletic drills he dominated. Fiske also looked extremely smooth while galloping through on-field position work. The results were outstanding for a 6-foot-3, 292-pound energizer bunny. Fiske is now rightfully garnering top-50 attention.

Honorable mentions: Rome Odunze (WR, Washington), Nate Wiggins (CB, Clemson), Mike Sainristil (CB, Michigan), Ricky Pearsall (WR, Florida), Theo Johnson (Penn State, TE), Tyler Owens (S, Texas Tech), Jaylen Wright (RB, Tennessee), Quinyon Mitchell (CB, Toledo), Ladd McConkey (WR, Georgia), Max Melton (CB, Rutgers), Nehemiah Pritchett (CB, Auburn), Tanor Bortolini (IOL, Wisconsin), Garret Greenfield (OT, South Dakota State), Amarius Mims (OT, Georgia).
