Anybody here ever been timed in the 40 yard dash?

[Trill Clinton]

If so, what was your fastest time?

My slowest was a 4.7 in 8th grade, fastest was 4.5 Senior year.

I've never been timed in this. Only the 100y and the 100m.

I don't know then. This was probably in 7th or 8th grade in some church league. I beat some other white kids. What would that come out to?

real talk, in junior high there were kids running 4.7's. unless the coaches were lying to make us look good on paper.

where is razon to confirm if this is possible?

no academic scholarship?

[IWantsACuatro]

no academic scholarship?

I had several, but I decided to go to the school of my choice anyway to get my degree and focus on a career. I had a state fund set up, so my tuition was kosher. I came out very fortunate in the end.

Alot of schools these days do offer academic scholarships plus an invitation to walk on. I think one of my brothers was offered that deal.

Plus, some in my fam play D-I ball, and it completely dominates their life. They practice twice a day and then go to class - that's it. Random drug tests, mandated curfews and everything but biweekly BM counts for their coaches. That's not what I would call a college experience, so I decided to party my ass off and get laid instead. Best decision I ever made.

I was the fastest kid in elementary school. The glory days.

We had a kid run a 4.66 in junior high but he went on to run in college and is currently trying to go pro..some of you are just lying.

[Rip-Hamilton32]

I ran a 4.56 but I'm a much better long distance runner now I've finished 8 marathons now 3 this year alone with many more to come.

Ran a 4.52 senior year of HS. I was the fastest white guy at my school :lol

Bunch of track stars up in here. Guarantee I'm faster than most of you and I probably run a 4.75 on a good day

[apalisoc_9]

LOL love these replies "oh i ran a time thats faster than most NFL players but, you know, i wasn't in prime condition back then"

I've never officially done it but casually with friends timing it my fastest was a blistering 5.5

Looks about right. Use to do 100m and i was around 10-11 seconds. Some of these moFos are lying.

I once ran a 4.40 during my senior year. If only someone had been there to witness it.

[benefactor]

The 4.85 was good enough for backup WR for me. I rotated out at CB too. We had a couple of 4.6 guys starting at the skill positions when I was a senior.

I seriously doubt anyone on this forum runs a 4.4. People rattle that off like it's no big deal but it's damn fast and impressive to watch in person. I only went to school with one and he won state in the 110 hurdles.

[IWantsACuatro]

4.4 is hauling ass, I agree, and it also depends on the quality of surface you're running on plus shoes. People have fluky fast days and slow days.

Yall have to remember the sample size is on a sports forum and from the few people who have times that aren't shy about posting them.

[Huey Freeman]

If so, what was your fastest time?

My slowest was a 4.7 in 8th grade, fastest was 4.5 Senior year.

I ran a 4.5 my senior year of HS too. Had a kid run a 4.43 on my team, but he was like 5.6''.


I could probably can run about 5.4 now tho. :lol

[RaZon]

I was a 4.7 guy on grass, hand timed. Which is fair for a high school back.

When we start talking 4.4-ish we are now talking about guys who were 10.3 or faster 100m men. Or that once in awhile fast footballer who for some reason or another didn't run track. After high school anyway.

Look at Devin Hester, you'd think he was a world class sprinter...nope! Guy never broke a 10.4 and his 40 wasn't all that. He's an adrenaline runner, faster in pads in football situations.

High school guys like a Reggie Bush, Napolean Kaufman, Curtis Conway can cook a 4.5. Not sure I believe high school 4.4.s.

Renaldo Nehemiah the great hurdler ran a hand timed 4.1 for the Niners. That is the fastest 40 I've ever heard of. Not buying Bo Jackson's 4.19, if it did happen something was fucked up with the timing.

Today we might see the once in awhile 4.2 but that's very rare. Chris Johnson, Deion Sanders were 4.2 guys.

Back in the day the great Bullet Bob Hayes ran a WR 5.9 at 60 yards. As did lesser caliber sprinters Sam Perry out of Fordham and Jerry Sims out of Jackson State. These short distances do tend to even things out. Speed endurance is what seperates the greats from the also rans. Obviously in a 40 there is no speed endurance.

There is something that does get missed in even a 40. It's that 20. Which really is a better barometer for football speed. That explosion! Rocket Ismail was the fastest 20 guy I've ever seen, in two steps...full speed. He could also cut without losing speed. A guy like Carl Lewis with that chug a lug speed would be useless on a football field. Rapid accelleration is football.

GOTCHA!!!!!!

His 40 wasn't all that, eh? I beg to differ.

A 4.27 forty time is always impressive, and no real track expert would say it's "not all that". Looks like your sprinting knowledge isn't quite as good as advertised. Looks like I just made chump meat out of the Maestro.

You can consult me now about any track/sprinting concerns on this site.

So tell me guru..

Talk to me about that team the USA sent to the Olympics to just run the 4x1.

Who was the last white sprinter on one of the USA's Oly 4x1 teams?

Give me 8 sprinting brothers.

Fastest long jumper to ever play in the NFL.

Give me the name of the fastest sprinter ever out of Dallas Baptist?


I was going with what he did at the combine.

paste...

According to NFL.com, Devin Hester was timed at 4.41 in the 40-yard dash at the 2006 NFL Combine, which didn’t even place him in the top 10 that year. Hester later ran a blazing 4.27 at his Pro Day at the University of Miami, however. The fastest 40 by a current Bears player at the 2006 Combine was generated by cornerback Tim Jennings, whose 4.32 tied receiver Chad Jackson for third among all prospects that year behind Clemson cornerback Tye Hill (4.30) and South Carolina cornerback Johnathan Joseph (4.31). Central Florida cornerback Josh Robinson ran the fastest 40 at this year’s Combine with a 4.33.

I don't pay much attention to that other stuff. I go with the combine. Not what his school..:rolleyes

Ever hear of Lee Suggs a back for Virginia Tech...a 4.26. He was no 4.26 guy. Forget those times ran at pro days. They tend to be fast for good reason. The day Suggs ran his 4.26, Michael Vick also ran a 4.2. Vick is not a 4.2. Oh yeah, they ran those times at Virg Tech.

But wait. We're not talking about the nicest, most polite Cane ever. We're talking about the fastest. We're talking about Devin Hester.

What's that? His 40 time? Willis McGahee ran a 4.24. Hester clocked an is-he-there-yet 4.28 earlier this year.

[this or that?]

I ran a 6.8.

[ChumpDumper]

Coulda gone pro thread.

[cantthinkofanything]

This whole thread got me curious about how fast I could now run the 40yd at my age. But since I don't have a clear 40yd of space at my office, I marked off a 2 foot track and timed myself. I figure I was able to move my foot from start to finish in about a quarter of a second. So, this would put me my 40yd time at 15 seconds.

[RaZon]

Don't get mad at me because you got your facts wrong. I made chump meat out of you and you're just going to have to take it.

Just as I thought you have no clue.

Guys who know football go with what we see at the combine. We do not go with times ran at an athletes school. The reasons should be obvious.

[hehateme]

With a 4.5 you could rob that convenience store on the corner and make it safely to the car before Akmed makes it around the counter to beat you with a broom.

[RaZon]

Being able to cut, stop and start and maneuver at a high % of someones max is far more important than just running a 40. When does anyone just run down the field?

However...

The more speed someone has entering the league the longer they will have speed.

[RaZon]

You never specified the combine. You just said his 40 time. I know you hate to admit it, but it's okay. I made chump meat out of the maestro, and now i'm the true track expert here.

I didn't have to specify combine. When his 40 time is looked at by the pros it won't be that pro day time they go with. That is common knowledge. Nobody but dumb fucks like you go with times ran on an athletes home field. Are you really that lost on this stuff?

[RaZon]

Doesn't matter. I made chump meat out of you. Don't be so mad over getting chumpatized! It happens.

With each post you look more and more ignorant as to the realities involved with this. Let me guess, you actually don't know shit about football or a 40.

One of the reasons we have the combine is because of bullshit 40's.

[Vici]

I'm calling bullshit. I ran a 4.6 as a sophmore and I was one of the fastest kids on the field. I quit football because I was too busy chasing girls. There were a few guys on my team who ran 4.5x but they were seniors and busted their ass. They were rarely caught from behind.

There was some guy at East Central who was a corner that ran 4.2x. This was back in like 2002.
