When teams do individual private workouts for teams, often times the scout has not brought the necessary tool to mark off the distance. I have first hand knowledge of a player starting in front of the starting point to run a forty, fully taking advantage of the fact that there was only one scout on hand and that he could not tell if the player was indeed starting at the correct mark. Another problem is the angle of the surface.
There are plenty of practice fields across the country that have a slope. Coaches see great value in having their players run on a slight decline to record eye popping times. Savvy scouts will insist that players run up one way and then down the other. An average of the two times is taken to get the most accurate time. One other problem is that some players run the 40 yard dash with cleats on grass while other places have their players run on a synthetic track with spikes on.
In my personal experiences, I have seen some sub 4. Kevin Williams of the University of Miami ran a 4. Former Hurricanes, Tremain Mack 4. Track star Henry Neal recorded a 4. The Dolphins did not sign Neal since his football background was quite limited. One player that is not on the list is Bob Hayes of the Dallas Cowboys.
No doubt, Hayes was one of the fastest men, if not the fastest man to put on an NFL uniform. However, as it relates to the 40 yard dash, I could find no time recorded for this Olympic Gold medalist.
Hayes has the fastest meter time for an NFL player at Demps ran this as a high schooler and owns the national prep record for the event.
The fastest recorded 40 yard split on record belongs to Olympian Maurice Greene. During his World Record 60 meter run of 6. Remembering that. It was run on an indoor track with spikes on giving the runner an advantage over the football players who have run on grass with cleats.
We figured he was done. These days, it usually gets embellished by most re-tellers to include Deion not just running off the field, but running into a waiting limo that took him straight to the airport.
From CBS :. Sanders long encouraged an urban legend that he rode up to the combine in a limo, jumped out and ran the 40 in 4. He insisted it was faster than Johnson. That myth was exploded Thursday on live television when Sanders and former NFL team executive Charley Casserly revisited that moment in I felt like I was kinda coming off the ground I just wanted the first person to say 4.
Look at these suggested searches, which Google shows because lots of people look them up:. Darrell Green evaporating into subatomic particles! Neon Deion has never been opposed to self-promotion, from the time he helped orchestrate an FSU rap song to the time he made a rap album in the NFL to his many non-musical stunts to the time he claimed in his Hall of Fame acceptance speech that he wore gold jewelry in order to provide for his family.
