what's the fastest 40 yard dash ever?

[Zenkei18]

Thanks Ncwinn, that's a very good point about a TRANSLATED 40 time.

They said he worked out for the Texans then I imagine that they actually made him run the 40. Thanks though.

Well, let's see a verified sub-4.0 time then! If he really ran under 4.0, you'd be able to find verification of that definitely. There would be a lot bigger fuss over this guy if he could really run that fast and was a potential football prospect. Otherwise, it seems maybe he can only run 4.1, and even that hasn't been definitely substantiated according to the New York Times. I'm sorry, but I don't rely on second hand information. I need verifiable proof or evidence before I believe something I read in a forum. That's a good policy for anyone who seeks advice or info from the internet....

If someone verifies a sub-4.0 time for this guy, then I would happily admit I was wrong!

apparently this guy http://bodyspace.bodybuilding.com/eyecntreed/

Dude don't you get he said it was on sportscenter. Its about 5 people including me who said they saw the thing on him. Their wouldn't be that much hype b/c he wasn't a good player.

[ThaCarterIII]

get off shreddeds nuts dude... first off Reggie Bush runs in the 4.2-4.3 range and there is a video on youtube of him timed LASER running a 4.28 I believe.... secondly have you heard of Noel Devine? they say he is faster than bush he runs perhaps in the 4.1 fange he is in HS... so yea there are kids out there faster... other names... perhaps Chris Rainey? I mean I can keep going on ..... Mike Vick is the 1 of the fastest people if not the fastest person in the NFL.. so when you see LBs running 4.4s yes laser 4.4s a few rookies did last year... I can almost guarantee them not catching Hall or Vick... seriously... not saying everyone on this forum runs a 4.1... but yall just talk retarded someitmes

yeah if thats the case than they need to step thier game up at the combines. Fastest combine 40 - 4.33. Fastest NFL times 40 - 4.29

Period.

Yeah I get it--Sportscenter did a pice that CALCULATED a HYPOTHETICAL 40 time for this guy. So in reality, he did NOT run under 4.0!!! What is so hard to understand about that???

[watchandsee23]

I don't remember it saying calculated 40. They probably timed him but it was ht so they didn't put much emphasis on it.

Wait until Mishak Rivas posts a 4.19 going into college. Then you'll be truly shocked.

[Mr.MAXX]

I don't remember it saying calculated 40. They probably timed him but it was ht so they didn't put much emphasis on it.

Well, that's my point.....why wouldn't they place an emphasis on someone running under 4.0??? Obviously we've never seen that documented before. You would think there would be a HUGE emphasis on it if it were true. That's why I am being so adamant about proof that it happened. If there is proof, again, I'll gladly admit I was wrong.

[Mr.MAXX]

Ok, since no one else is doing any research to prove that this is true, I decided to investigate. I did a search on ESPN's website for "Gatlin" and these are the articles that come up that had anything to do with his tryouts. There is no mention anywhere of a 40 yard time. There is a great deal of mention, however, about how this man tested positive for doping--using testosterone and steroids-- and how is world record will be removed from the books and he has been banned for 8 years from participating in track and field. His ban from track and field probably explains why he is trying to find a career in the NFL--cause he is an unemployed doper!

Well he is the fastest man alive I think it'd go without saying that him running that wouldn't be too far fetched.

Yeah, I guess you are right. I guess I will just "STFU" already about the "world's fastest man due to illegal supplementation." Thanks for all the supporting info, Shorty.......

Wow shows how intelligent you are if you think height matters.

[mesayseo]

i haven't ever seen anything on espn about Gatlin busting a sub 4flat 40 and i watch sports center everyday. But there is one thing to agree on Justin Gatlin is possibly the fastest man alive even if he doesnt run a 3.8

[Dummkopf]

Our RB runs a 4.3 and he's white.

[R_N_S]

if he hits worth a damn lemme know what NFL team he signs with, he'll for sure get a shot and make some special teams

[watchandsee23]

Didn't I say they probably don't put much emphasis on it b/c he isn't a good player.

[R_N_S]

what?

[watchandsee23]

should have quoted maxx...

[Robb_P]

No he dosen't.

[payton34]

Our RB runs a 4.3 and he's white.

4.3_? i can believe if its 38 or 39 but def not flat

[Robb_P]

Didn't Mo Greene run a 4.3 in high school? And he was the G.O.A.T

[Ibanez]

Yesterday I ran a 1.2. I know what you're thinking but that was becaue I broke my leg had a cast on, it was outside a little wet, and I wasn't warmed up. It was electronic timed too! I'm sure I can run sub zero if I try.

Do you have any proof to verify that???

[NueveUno]

all I can say is google Noel Devine... it says he runs a 4.4 but he is much faster plus the 4.4 is not verified.. I was wrong but Reggie Bush runs a 4.33 laser and that was with a bad start, and during the all american game they said that Devine is faster than Bush in person... so just look up his highlight tapes

[R_N_S]

ha....so it says he runs a 4.4, which isn't even a verified 4.4, and you say he's even faster than that? That's like saying you can squat 300, even though you've never done it, but you can do even more than that; that makes zero sense. 4.33 with a bad start? The guy's ran a million laser'd 40's in his life, 4.33 is the best he can do. And fine this kid may be as fast as bush, that's why he's one of the top prospects in the nation; there aren't 100 other top prospects on this board, so I don't get where all the low-mid 4's are comin from.

wrong.. It says on rivals he runs a 4.4 as an estimate, but however he has never been timed in the 40 and he is faster than a 4.4 so I am saying that the 4.4 is not his speed its just an estimate but if you watched the all american game they even stated he has much more speed than that of a 4.4 sorry for the confusion

[NueveUno]

all I can say is google Noel Devine... it says he runs a 4.4 but he is much faster plus the 4.4 is not verified..

the reason I made that post is because I knew someone would look on rivlas and see it says 4.4 even though he has never been timed so I cant say he is 4.1 material but I do know he is faster than the rainey kid who lasered 4.4 at a combine last year... really I guess it cant be said what his 40 is if hes never run it but they ESTIMATE below 4.35
