Peyton Manning: Combine results and workout sources
The Colts article calls the familiar 4.8 second claim alleged. It does not name an official timed event. We could not verify a sprint from that account. The other drill fields also lack a record in our reviewed sources.
Read the workout in context
The Colts took the Tennessee passer first overall in 1998. The Hall of Fame draft list confirms the pick. That source tells us when and where he entered the league. It gives no running time.

What the measurements tell you
The college listed for this draft entry is Tennessee. The selection was round 1, pick 1, in 1998, by Indianapolis Colts. This identifies the selecting club rather than a present day team.
This review does not attach an unverified height or weight to the workout. Draft measurements describe that point in time. A later team roster can list different measurements, so use a dated roster for a current size question.
Using the results fairly
Jumps test power in different directions. The cone and shuttle use different paths, so their times are not interchangeable. Lifting repetitions do not show catching skill or passing accuracy. These tests add a physical snapshot to a draft report; they do not replace film, production or a medical review.
This table follows the source notes rather than choosing the best mark from several events. Where a second report differs, the event note explains the gap. We publish no percentile without a defined comparison group, sample size and calculation.
What to check for this record
The source does not settle the running time question. It calls the claim alleged rather than giving a timed event result. Leaving out that limit would make the answer seem more certain than the record. A draft pick alone cannot confirm a sprint.
Questions readers ask
Which draft team selected this player?
Indianapolis Colts selected the Tennessee QB in round 1, at pick 1, in 1998. This is draft history, not a current roster claim.
What does an empty test field mean?
It means the reviewed source does not record a result. It does not mean zero, and it does not prove why the athlete did not have a listed mark.
Sources and review method
We checked the linked records for this update. Team and school reports can explain the event. Historical tables compile results and may leave fields empty. We keep that distinction visible and do not claim an affiliation with the source publishers.
