Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes praised former DB for Texas Longhorns and current Nevada Wolf Pack's safety Kitan Crawford for his 4.41 seconds at the 2025 NFL Combine's 40-yard dash. Like Patrick Mahomes' own team member, running back Xavier Worthy had created a historic moment by carving 4.21 seconds in a 40-yard dash in last year's NFL Combine - this time around, Nevada Wolf Pack's safety Kitan Crawford caught Patrick Mahomes' undivided attention.

NFL's Eric Edholm, Lead Draft Writer, had predicted Nevada Wolf Pack's safety Kitan Crawford would set a new record for the 40-yard dash at the 2025 NFL Combine

Eric Edholm wrote on the official website of the NFL,
"Another dark-horse candidate, Crawford has the type of sprinter's speed (a 100-meter best of 10.6 seconds) to grab a top-10 spot. He didn't play a ton in four seasons at Texas, but Crawford made the most of his one season with the Wolf Pack. He was used as an occasional weapon on offense and special teams, and Crawford ran back a 57-yard pick-six in Nevada's upset of Oregon State."
