The Broad Jump is probably the simplest event requiring the least amount of time. It is, however, a great test of explosiveness and lower body strength. This is a quick and easy test of pure athleticism and thus a part of the NFL combine. The NFL combine record in the broad jump is an incredible 139" (almost 12 ').
check out this video of his performance and notice the incredible explosiveness combined with great flexibility.
The 60 yard shuttle is the event that seems to be most skipped at the NFL combine. While virtually all of the athletes run the 40 yard dash, only a few at the skilled positions run the 60 yard shuttle. This event tests quickness, but also tests conditioning. This event requires quickness, leg strength, flexibility and excellent balance. I searched and could not find a single video posted of this event at the NFL combine, but here is a video link showing a super fast time. Notice, the competitor has to touch the line each time.
Start the time on the first move of the runner. You get three attempts taking your best time.
