WRs Matthew Golden, Dont'e Thornton Jr. Improve Draft Stock

Texas wide receiver and College Football Playoff star Matthew Golden could be climbing some draft boards after Saturday.

Golden clocked an official time on 4.29 seconds on the 40-yard dash.

That time trails only Xavier Worthy's record-breaking run as the fastest 40-yard dash from the past two combines.

Golden averaged 17.0 yards per catch and tied for the SEC lead with nine receiving touchdowns last season.

That performance, plus the speed he demonstrated Saturday, left some analysts convinced the wideout has secured his spot in the first round this April.

Golden is listed as the No. 3 wide receiver and No. 18 overall prospect on Bleacher Report's 2025 NFL Draft Big Board. B/R NFL scout Dame Parson describes him as "an explosive and dynamic receiver with positional flexibility."

He wasn't the only Texas wideout who shone Saturday. It was a good day overall for Longhorns receivers:

Tennessee wide receiver Dont'e Thornton Jr. later marked an official time of 4.30 seconds.

Thornton, who isn't on the B/R Big Board, measured in at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds before achieving the feat.

Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart Shows Off His Arm

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart caught attention early Saturday by throwing a maximum speed of 58 miles per hour on the speed test.

Dart, who led the nation with 10.8 yards per pass attempt in 2024, then took to the field for his on-field throwing session.

Dart's accuracy left some viewers sure the Ole Miss quarterback would hear his name called earlier than expected in the upcoming draft:

Dart is ranked as the No. 4 quarterback and No. 75 overall prospect on Bleacher Report's 2025 NFL Draft Big Board. Parson writes that he has shown "shades of Carson Wentz."
