**DONJUANPIMPIN** · 03-27-2005, 08:32 PM

don't worry about what's good or what's not. Just keep running and stay fast man.

4.3 flat would be good for an 8th grader.

if an 8th grader could run a 4.3 i think they could make an exeption for the 3 years out of high school rule in the NFL draft

**calguy** · 03-28-2005, 08:02 AM

haha 4.3, what a comedian. the fastest time ever at the combine is 4.18(deion sanders)

**calguy** · 03-28-2005, 08:04 AM

a good time for any age is under 5.1 or 5.2, although if your playing football you want to be as fast as possible so under 5 is recomended

**hartley53** · 03-28-2005, 08:21 AM

It really depends what position you're playing. At the begining of my freshman year I ran a 5.9, but I play center. Some of the running backs ran like 4.9's and 4.8's. And the linebacker/fullbacks ran 5.2's.

Actually you're wrong. The fastest official time (electronicly timed) ever was the 4.32 run by Hamptons Jerome Mathis who did it this year. Deion Sanders is widely recognized as having run the fastest unofficial time (hand timed) at the combine with a 4.26

These "how fast should I be?" questions are almost as stupid as the "how big should I be?". We can assume by his username that he is a RB, but, is he a power back? a scat back? a blocking back?

im sorry, ive never seen a 200+ lbs guy run a sub 4 sec 40, so i highly doubt that him being 265 would even run a low 4.

has anyone figured out if it was from a standstill or if it was a "flying 40"? I've heard both.

search it on Charlie francis forums, he answered it by saying Ben was training at the track and there was a NFL scout that came to Toronto or somewhere in canada or there was a combine there and Ben ran in it for fun a 3.7 handtime which seems reasonable because Ben had a great start in the 100m dash so I am guessin he started so quick that it was like he jumped the gun and the guy timing couldn't react that well resulting in a 3.7 40 yard dash.

**gappa238** · 03-29-2005, 04:26 PM

i also saw over on cf that they were comparing ben and mo's best 100m run by 10m splits, give me some time and ill try to dig it up

I think Person brought this up his 40m time was like a 4.6 or something like that.

**Hannman** · 03-29-2005, 04:52 PM

if you are in 8th grade just get big, I was like 170-180 i think in 8th grade and slow as **** (5.4 or so i think) but i still had the most yards on my team. in 8th grade its more about force and intimidation. But if you want a good 40 tiem just shoot for the best, that way you will always be ok.

If you run anyhting between a 5.0-5.4 your in pretty good shape jsut work on it. In the 8th grade i probably ran around a 5.4 and im 16 and now I run around 4.6.

**angelus666** · 04-07-2005, 01:26 AM

Damn I must be as slow as s**t. Im just about to start playing Gridiron (In Australia) so I timed my 40 and got a 5.9 WTF. Though I ran on Grass/Sand then crossed my driveway back on to Grass/Sand and my brother was timing it on his mobile but that still seem's slow. im 6'5, 191. I was thinking about trying as a WR cause I have Huge hands and I catch anything that's thrown my way. On the plus side I overpower everyone I know should I consider a different position.
