Alright, so check it, today I’m diving into something I’ve been messing with: Trevor Lawrence’s 40-yard dash time. I know, sounds random, but hear me out.

First off, I got curious. Was watching some old football clips and Lawrence’s name popped up. Naturally, my brain went “What was his 40 time?” So, I did what any self-respecting internet sleuth would do, I hit up Google.
The Search Begins
- Typed in “Trevor Lawrence 40 time.” Pretty straightforward.
- Saw a bunch of articles and videos, mostly from around the time he was getting drafted.
- Noticed a lot of different numbers floating around, which is always annoying. Some said 4.78, others claimed 4.6.
Okay, time to dig deeper. I hate when info’s all over the place. I needed to find a reliable source. This is where things got a bit tedious. I started going through scouting reports, combine data (or what was available, since he didn’t do everything at the combine), and pro day results.
The Deep Dive
- Cross-referenced the numbers from different sites like * and ESPN.
- Looked for video evidence of his pro day. This was key because you can actually SEE him running.
- Tried to find any independent analysis of his form, start, and overall speed.
The Verdict (Sort Of)

After all that digging, here’s the deal. The generally accepted number seems to be around 4.78 seconds. That’s what most of the reputable sources are reporting. Now, could he have run faster on a different day? Maybe. But that’s the number we’re working with.
But I wasn’t satisfied. I needed to see if I could find something tangible to really visualize what a 4.78 40-yard dash looks like.
The Visualization
- Found a video of him running the 40 at his pro day.
- Used a video editing software(shotcut) to slow down the footage and roughly time each 10-yard split using the video timestamp.
- This wasn’t perfect, but it gave me a good sense of his acceleration and top speed.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, Trevor Lawrence’s 40 time: somewhere around 4.78 seconds. It was fun digging around and trying to piece together the puzzle. Sometimes, the journey of finding the info is more interesting than the info itself, you know?
Now, I’m off to find out something else random. Maybe the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow…African or European?
