INDIANAPOLIS – Showcasing his skills in his hometown in front of thousands of NFL personnel, Purdue running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. put on a show at the 2024 NFL Combine.
 
Going through several drills throughout the event, Tracy put together some of the best numbers among running backs. The Boilermaker produced the fastest 3-cone drill by a running back, weaving through the cones in 6.81 seconds. Once again showing his shiftiness, Tracy clocked in at 4.06 seconds for the 20-yard shuttle, ranking second in his position. His 40-inch vertical jump also ranked second.

In the always-intriguing 40-yard dash, Tracy raced down the sideline in 4.48 seconds. During the run, he reached a top speed of 23.01 mph to rank fourth by a running back according to NFL Next Gen Stats.
