Bo Nix is one of many big-name quarterback prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft. The Oregon quarterback threw for over 4,500 yards and 45 touchdowns compared to just three interceptions in 14 games. Nix is going to need a big performance at the Combine to become a top-10 pick in the draft.

Where would Nix's 40 time rank all-time at the quarterback position?

Player

Time (Year)

1. Michael Vick

3. Robert Griffin III

4.41 (2012)

4. Anthony Richardson

4.43 (2023)

5. Justin Fields

4.45 (2021)

Two of these players are currently in the league with Richardson entering year two with the Colts and Fields entering his fourth NFL season. Vick played in the NFL for 14 seasons and played quarterback for four different teams during that time. McNeal is the most random name here and only spent one year in the league. Griffin played in the NFL for seven seasons but was mostly considered a disappointment after going second overall in 2012.

No quarterbacks have cracked the top 10 of 40 times, which isn't surprising considering they're not supposed to be the fastest guys on the field. It's quite all right that Nix doesn't make the cut or come close to it.
