Matthew Golden set the fastest WR 40-yard dash time at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, clocking in at 4.29 seconds. This achievement marks a continuation of Texas’ dominance in the event, as four Longhorn receivers have now run sub-4.4 times since 2024.
The top performers in the WR category include Golden, Chimere Dike (4.34 seconds), Tai Felton (4.37 seconds), and Isaiah Bond (4.39 seconds). Luther Burden III and Tory Horton also made the top 10 with times of 4.41 seconds each.
Notably, two Texas receivers – Matthew Golden and another unnamed player not mentioned in this article – secured spots in the top four. This demonstrates the significant talent and speed coming out of the state’s top programs for wide receiver prospects.
