2026 NFL combine results: Top performers at running back, including 40 times

On Saturday of the NFL combine, the running backs were one of the position groups to go through the on-field testing portion of the event. 

For the Indianapolis Colts at this position, the team has Jonathan Taylor leading the way, but bolstering the competition on the depth chart behind him should be on the to-do list.

The only other running backs under contract currently are DJ Giddens, who was often inactive during the second half of last season, and Ulysses Bentley.

Below are the top performers at running back from each NFL combine event.
