Who is the fastest fullback in the 2022 NFL Draft?
Connor Heyward had the fastest 40 time at the NFL combine, but after pro days the fastest fullback is Ian Fryday of Adams State.
We have verified 40 yard dash times from 39 fullbacks in the 2022 class, including players from every level of college football.
Most fullbacks were able to run a 40 time this year at either the combine or their pro day. The most notable running back not included in this list is Joey Kenny, who played fullback at the Hula Bowl but I haven’t found a verified 40 time for.
This list includes combine results and all pro day results. Since only two fullbacks attended the combine, most of these are from Pro Days. Keep in mind that some of these players played tight end, running back, or linebacker at the college level but are expected to be fullbacks at the next level.
