what was your 40 time when you played football??

[CausticMick]

I hope you realize that you have to have more than speed to play football. You also have to have the knowledge, ability, and talent to play. Speed is not the only thing you need. Thats why you don't see very many world class track stars playing football.

If I could ding you on every post I would.

Damn. And you were still in the green when I left for WV. A leopard never changes its spots I guess.

few are as fast as they think they are...

this article documents how bogus NFL combine times are because they are hand timed, not electronic timed.

http://www.usoc.org/11611_32384.htm

highlight: Ben Johnson's world record 100 meter time at the Seoul Olympics has been broken down into segments by expert analysts. he was full of steroids (for which he was busted), running on a track with a slight tail wind , running for Olympic gold with six of the fastest men in the world chasing him. and he was wearing spikes. his time, done electronically (of course) was ....

a 4.38.

at the Combine last year Matt Jones, 6-6 and 240 pound QB, ran a 4.37.

hmmmm.... what's not right about this picture?

bottom line: if it isn't e-timed the time isn't worth much.

Ran a 5 flat. I was a slug. [no smiley]
I'm actually faster ,now!
And don't race me up a flight of stairs.
I train at 7200-8200 ft.

At 5'9" and 155 lbs I ran a 4.4 (manually timed) 40. Pretty fast, but not world class. I was never in any danger of being recruited by anyone. I was actually a MUCH better Basketball player.

most of us on here couldnt fall off a cliff at the speeds we are bragging about, much less run that fast.

Wrong

The combine times are electronically timed.

The article was talking about how some recruits won't do their times at the combine, but at college camps were the times are hand timed. Possibly giving them a better time.

Well im up to 370 lbs now, probably could stand to lose a couple.

Im only running sub 4.2's right now, I guess thats pretty good but I dunno...

 

[ScarletBlood31]

Hey guys I just ran a 4.12 the other day....... but of course my mother was timing me with her wristwatch.......

 

[NewYorkBuck]

4.65

 

[NFBuck]

What was your 40 time....

I could put down a Mickeys in about 4-5 minutes. The cheap shit like Magnum or King Cobra took a little longer.

You are correct, about me anyway, I haven't seen a sub 5 40 in about a decade. I now will only run if something is chasing me. Its a lot harder to make 210 lbs fly than 155.
