2023 NFL Combine results for TE Brenton Strange

Official time: 4.70

Nobody ever accused Brenton Strange of being the fastest tight end to play the game, and the combine didn’t do anything to change that thought. Strange’s 40-yard dash time was the third-slowest in the position group. But Strange’s time was tied with Notre Dame’s Michael Mayer, who is widely considered to be the top tight end prospect in the 2023 NFL draft, so perhaps we shouldn’t make too much of the 40-yard time.

The fastest time recorded by a tight end belonged to Miami’s Will Mallory, who was clocked at 4.54 seconds, a hundredth of a second faster than former Penn State tight end Zack Kuntz of Old Dominion. Iowa’s Sam LaPorta was the only other tight end to be timed below 4.6 seconds with a 4.59 time.
