Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts have established themselves among the best modern quarterbacks in the NFL. The two signal-callers have an incredible passing range but are also good runners. However, Jackson is much quicker than Hurts in a footrace.
Jackson completed his 40-yard dash in 4.34 seconds at his Pro Day in 2017 at the University of Louisville. Meanwhile, Hurts ran his 40-yard dash in 4.59 seconds at the 2018 NFL Combine. While Hurts' time is not slow by any means, Jackson is just too fast for a quarterback.
The fastest 40-yard time by a quarterback at the NFL Combine was recorded in 2001 by Michael Vick, who did the drill in 4.33 seconds. Jackson's time is the closest to Vick, but he did not do the drill at the Combine. If he did the same time, Jackson would have recorded the second-fastest 40-yard dash by a quarterback at the showpiece event.
