The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine was set for a lot of excitement on Saturday. With the quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers set to take the field in Indianapolis, you can bet that all the fans were watching to see the next wave of NFL stars. That included several players who had the chance to really turn some heads in the forty-yard dash.
During media availability this week, former Texas running back and wide receiver Isaiah Bond set their expectations high. Both were on the record for saying they could potentially break current Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy's forty-yard dash record that was set just last year. Worthy famously ran it in 4.21 seconds.
Blue, who is a talented running back and former teammate of Worthy, predicted he could potentially run in the 4.1s during testing. He used his time with Worthy as the barometer. That is where his confidence came from, but did admit Worthy set the bar very high.
"Yeah, he definitely did," said Blue. "At workouts all last year, (Xavier Worthy) was the one I ran next to. Me and him used to go at it. He won a few and I won a few. He's fast, don't get me wrong, but I don't think people really know how fast I am because I don't really run in games unless I have to."
While Bond was never a teammate with Worthy, he was also confident he could be close to the record. He predicted at least a 4.20-second time, but had the possibility of getting into the 4.1s as well.
Neither did. Bond ended with a 4.39-second time, while Blue ran it in 4.38 seconds. Worthy wasn't shy to head to Instagram for his instant analysis after they fell so short.
That wasn't the end of it from Worthy, who is coming off of a solid rookie season for the Chiefs. In 17 games, he hauled in 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns. That game breaking speed was on full display during the team's Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, hauling in eight receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns. Worthy continued to let everyone know just how talented of an athlete that he is on X.
As Worthy said, "there's fast, and then there is him." Both Blue and Bond are both fast, but Worthy's speed is in a different stratosphere.
