The 5 FASTEST Players of NFL Combine History - How Did Their Careers Turn Out?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 чер 2024
- In this video, I discuss the careers of the five fastest players of NFL Combine History, based on their 40 yard dash time. The five players are Dri Archer, Jerome Mathis, Chris Johnson, Rondel Menendez, and John Ross. They played for the Steelers, Texans, Titans, Falcons, and Bengals. I also briefly mention their college football careers and the NFL Draft. This is my first time doing commentary, so I will work on improving for my future videos.

Bobby Hayes was the fastest “
@@Braglemaster123 By what measurement?
That was an awesome video , yes I’ll Sub ..( no TB please unless your doing some other vids ..)
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind, but no guarantees lol
@@Braglemaster123 you are correct. Bob Hayes personal best 100 meter 9.9 and Darrell Green personal best 10.8 100 meter. Green ran 3.9 40 yard dash playing football
I can’t believe a lot of people don’t know who Chris Johnson is
He was meaning Mendez nobody knew who he was
Only two players ever had 100 speed in madden. Come on how do y’all not know him
@@andyn7478 who is the 2 players im not a game person
@@chadhamilton1513 actually 3 I’m sorry. Devin Hester chris Johnson and I believe desean jackson. I can’t think of anyone else. Apparently jamaal Charles and jacoby Ford has it too
@@andyn7478 Hester is one
For all those who didn't watch Darrell Green play he was always one of the fastest on the field. I still get goosebumps watching him run down Tony Dorsett and his punt return vs da Bears with cracked ribs! Unbelievable
shit if he was in the combine today darrell green would be running a 4.18 electronic time
Darrell Green’s speed is still so underrated
Agreed
I couldn't agree more. He ran down every Olympic sprinter that came into the league at that time (bar none!). Unfortunately his time was hand timed. Even with electronic time, I think that he would have been top 1 or 2 on this list.
Ryan S He also played for 63 years !!!
Facts in the purest form!!
Darrell Greens speed, game, coverage and career was underrated. One of the greatest
Seeing BO run, he looks every bit of that 4.13
I still wouldn't doubt Bo. Remember his Inside-The-Park Home Run? He ran full speed around the bases, and slid on his back. Only to leap right onto his feet from his back. That is unfair.
Big Worm Bo ran a 4.12 electronically indoors. And he did have world-class speed. But how much does Running track pay? I’ll take Bo Jackson over any of these guys any day in his prime
@@fjdiesi There is ABSOLUTELY no verifiable record of that socalled "electronic 4.12" TOTAL mythology. No never ran a legal 100 meter faster than 10.45.
That's barely fast enough to have best FloJo.
Out running linebackers, the way that Michael Vick use to, doesn't classify you as having "world class" speed.
Bo never ran a time fast enough to qualify for the Olympics.
But Herschel Walker did.
Bo's speed is fabricated legend.
@@imgoing2stayonyourmind654 Blah blah blah, Bo is the Fastest NFL player in history
@Randummm he was 230 not 220 and the fastest in NFL history
The love the steelers but they did Dri Archer diiiiiiiiirty!!
They Fucked Him Over Bad
How?
Spudwick Chuck not giving him enough playing time
Nah he couldn't stay healthy I was his neighbor in PGH everytime we talked he said wasn't passing physicals
@@ctg5679 likeley was not performing good enough in practice
Considering his size and how much CJ was used he was a pretty resilient RB while he was a Titan. He made the games worth watching during those dark days as a Titan fan.
Imagine the NFL without injuries...
yeah it's sad how many careers were ruined by injuries
This is why i have a hard time watching it. 52 rotating players. Hard to keep up
Hydra PFF like where you can turn the injuries off like in madden. That would be scary to watch .
Imagine the NFL without wifebeaters
Ron Vitug 😂😂😂😂😂
Nice vid bro rlly enjoyed
Appreciate it
PrimeTime Productions i
As a Cincinnatian, I wish I could have commented on this 2 months ago when you posted it. NEVER have hopes in Cincinnati football. It will always let you down.
hope you enjoyed the video though!
Rip😭😭😂
How you run a 4.24 40 yard dash and get drafted in the 7th round 😳 that’s crazy
Ikr
Not really. Speed isn't everything. They look at his production and tape. The tape didn't live up to the speed. He probably had ball security issues. And you add all of that up playing in a lower division you are lucky to get drafted 7th.
Fast doesn't mean good
Would you draft Carl Lewis at any position? Hell nah!
That's what the Raiders look for in the first round
Nice breakdown on very important matters
Great video sir!
Thanks! I really appreciate it!
I had a 2.9 40 yard dash in 2001, but I was on a Yamaha !
lol
In case anyone's wondering how John Ross's breakout 2020 season turned out:
3 GAMES, 7 TARGETS, 2 RECEPTIONS, 17 YARDS, 0 TOUCHDOWNS.
I enjoyed this although I've not seen a Pro game since the late 90's ~ thanks
glad to hear it!
Well done.
Thank you
aye they made it to the next level. i have nothing but respect for them
Good vid
Thanks! I appreciate it
Pretty good video..subscribed
I appreciate it!
@@primetimeproductions8922 your welcome my brother
I definitely know John Ross, He played for my Washington Huskies. I hope he does have great numbers from here out.
Hes a bust
tennessee should of kept cj and vy together i think the chemistry they had together as a qb rb duet would of been special
FACTS!!!!
3:39 Hasselbeck with the half-bald back in 2006 lol damn Matt
LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭 damn matt
Man was born bald lol
5:57 that defensive player #21 really didn't want to give that play up but still ended giving that play up lol he really was trying his best lol.
You should've thrown Randy Moss in an honorable mention category. The dude only knew one play and that was to blow by everyone and get in the endzone. Which he did quite often and easily. Nobody could keep up with him. I remember one game he scored 3 tds. 1st td guarded by 1 guy, 2nd td covered by 2 guys, 3rd td covered by everyone and still blows by em.
True, but while he definitely had elite speed, I’d say that the players i featured in this video are still faster than him by a decent margin. It was the combination of Moss’s elite speed with his other top tier attributes such as his size that made him unstoppable.
Moss did not have a semi automatic 40 time. His 4.25 was hand timed.
@@primetimeproductions8922 idk dude. I feel like you put Moss up against Tyreek Hill or John Ross. That margin won't be very decent and almost non existent. Remember, your basing this off of 40 yd dash times. But who you think would run the length of the field in pads faster? 1 of Mosses strides equals probably 2 of Tyreeks. This is all speculation though and we will never know but in my opinion i feel like there wouldn't be any margin and the winner of that race would be just barely ahead of the other guy. Like I said Watch old Moss highlights and find a clip where someone actually kept up with Moss. Even Dion Primitime Sanders got smoked by Moss and at one point was self proclaimed fastest man in the league. And you know Mosses 40 times was a 4.25 which is actually faster or just as fast as everyone on this list lol so I think you just forgot about him.
@@primetimeproductions8922 Here's another problem. Google Randy Mosses 40 time. Its 4.25. Your 4th fastest player on here is 4.26 so by default Moss should've been atleast number 4 on this list and ultimately meaning he is faster than some players you had on this list. Chris Johnson. Tyreek Hill Randy Moss Dion imo are the fastest players ever and im not just looking at 50 time but pure speed and the ability for a defender to catch them in a footage which is impossible. Yeah John Ross and Dri had sesame 40s but they're small so when ypu put pads on. Those 4.24 they were running wont be 4.24 anymore. But you put pads on moss and he ain't even gonna notice them and still hit the burners on anyone.
@@Brandon-xq2ns Moss didn't run an official electronic time and this isn't a video about people in pads lol, if so then Tyreek Hill would be in this video too
Dri archer was dope
I use to go crazy with him on Madden 15✊🏾
Dri archer right?
@@primetimeproductions8922 hell yea he was Cold
Yeah so fast
I remember watching Darryl green ! Just talking about him the other night! That cat was a pain in the ass! Go big blue!So I agree underrated n underappreciated!
Injuries I understand but to have speed sitting on a bench for an entire season? THAT is just plain stupid coaching.
agreed
At least use him as a gunner
Pure speed doesn't always translate to in game results. But I agree sometime coaches will put a guy in the doghouse and after that all or most the other teams will be afraid to give em a second chance
Speed doesn't matter if it does not translate in the NFL. Dri was a very small guy and was not built to play in the NFL. I was praying that he would work out but after seeing him against the Ravens on Thursday night opener I saw that he wasn't ready.
The dude was amazing to watch in college.
If someone cannot learn the playbook then there gonna be sitting on the bench
Yo let's give some props to Stanford Routt, (Raiders) who ran down Mathis preventing him from crossing the goalline. Look him up! He legit also.
4.27 so barely didn’t make the list
I hope to do the same thing and have the success like you do
Nice
Dri Archer should sign up for USA rugby sevens... He will be a star like Carlin Isles and Berry Baker.
Not a bad idea!
I was going to say that your audio wasn't good, but you're ON IT. Keep at it!
thanks! I'm always striving to improve
@@primetimeproductions8922 I enjoyed the video, but was distracted by your pronunciation of some words. You've got the idea and research down, and deliver it in a clear manner without a bunch of yelling and nonsense. But work on your pronunciation. Look forward to you getting better equipment and additional videos.
@@rseman Thanks, I appreciate the feedback
I believe there is speed , and game speed !! Game speed includes Jerry Rice , Darren Sproles , and William ( Refrigerator ) Perry !!!!!!! Lol ⚡️⚡️
Refrigerator had WHEELS when he got a pick in Tecmo Bowl... Def 4.2 something...
Speed kills but game speed makes all the difference. Thumbs up to you for knowing the difference. U must be an athlete
Dri artcher had like 97 speed in his bronze card in madden 15
yeah lmao I remember when he was op back in the madden mobile days
PrimeTime Productions yeah he had like a 96 ovr madden mobile card had like 103 speed it was insane
PrimeTime Productions he was op
I think Ryan Shazier should get an honorable mention for his 4.37 done with a pulled hamstring and being he is a linebacker.
Love John Ross. He did played for our Washington state football team!
U Dub
He played for the UW
HUSKIES. not the WSU
COUGARS FOOTBALL
Team
Joey Galloway gets no love here either..... Fastest 40 was 4.14. Had phenomenal seasons with Seahawks and Buccaneers never he was selected to the pro bowl😞
yeah its really unfortunate that electronic timing didn't take place at the combine until 1999
@@primetimeproductions8922 NFL Semi automatic timing started in 1999.
Yup ur right
That’s my uncle and he still runs a 4.5 😭😂
Always like Galloway. Solid receiver. Made a lot of clutch 3rd down catches. Unfortunate underrated player. Respect to joey
Did you REALLY include Tom Brady in your intro of “fastest” players...? The video loses some credibility for that.😂
Don’t sleep on his speed 👀
Realize no one else has chimed in on Brady. Dont matter what aspect of the game, if its NFL football you can never sleep on Brady.
@@primetimeproductions8922 he ran like a 10 minute 40yd dash
Like fr yow😂😂😂😂
@@dad7335 Matthew Boling, right now is the fastest YOUNG SPRINTER IN THE WORLD. RUNS TRACK FOR GEORGIA. HE'S TRAINING FOR THE OLYMPICS.🏃🏃🚀🚀
Watched Ross at Washington, he was awesome.
Johnson was unbelievable. Bad agent. Had I been his agent, Johnson would be drawing a $900,000 salary today.
Can you get me that ???
Good video!! Cj2k was a burner in the 40 but his 100m is average. The problem with the 40 is more of an accurate measure of acceleration and Burst. As Said by olympic track medalist. I will take Primetime, Bo, and Tyreek hill over everyone... Moss gets honorable Mention 4.25 at his pro day and 4.12/4.20 on various hand timers by scouts and coaches... They have Track speed where they maintain there speed or continue to accelerate throughout the entirety of 100yrds. Ross 100m is like 10.5... tyreek hill ran 10.1 in High school which is insane lol.
Glad you enjoyed the video, really appreciate the support. Yeah I agree tyreek is faster than cj2k, but that speed is still crazy for a running back
Really a shame that these guys didn’t run official times tho, I’m really curious what they would’ve got
🤣 I use to block for jerome Mathis we went to the same high school boy was fast great track star but attitude needed work overall glad he made it out our small town ✊
Fucking liar
Menendez was blessed with an awesome talent for renting cars to folks though. There is always a plan for all of us.
Hester ran a 4.4 on injured ankles. His game speed was clearly elite
Imo, sometimes the coaches in the league don't know how to maximize talent. Dri Archer should have never been used as a running back in the NFL. A slot receiver at best, along with kick and punt return duties.
Yeah but sometime players can't make that transition. If he had been playing running back his whole life he might not have been able to switch to another position at the NFL level even if his skillset was better for another position. Obviously there's been success stories of players switching position by the time they reach the NFL, but more of then not it doesn't work out. Some players been playing the same position for 10-15 years and then have to try to learn a new position against the best players in the world
@@stevenl6283 he most likely couldn't find the ball at the top of a route.
The fastest guys i hv seen play this game
Bo Jackson
Deion Sanders
Darrell Green
Randy Moss
Joey Galloway
Rocket Ishmael
Michael Vick
Dante Hall (look him up) THE HUMAN JOY. STICK and that was really his nick name.
Willie Gault (who ran in the Olympics)
Im sure im missing someone and no i haven't forgotten Chris Johnson....or John Ross
that one Dante hall juke was crazy
@@primetimeproductions8922 yes sir. I have played and watched a tone of football and im like wait a minute we not gone NOT talk about one of the baddest
@@coreygoree1256 yeah I based this video specifically off of 40 yard times at the combine, but if it was a video on the the fastest players overall, then I definitely would have included a lot of the players you mentioned
Dante Hall was never fast like the other guys you listed or Johnson for that matter. He was quick and had sick moves but I saw him get caught from behind a lot.
@@michaelshields6326 1st i never said tht. But D Hall did run a 4.29 in the 40..... i dont where u read in my thread he was faster. Re-read sir 🙄
The cheese with dri archer in madden was unmatched
I didn't see Bob Hayes #22 Dallas Cowboys WR on the list.
He was the fastest man on Earth for a time. 🏈 👍
What is Hayes' laser timed 40 time?
7:47 - Rondel Me-nen-dez..ran a 4:19.
With Joe Burrow as his future QB ( possibly) John Ross could become a superstar 😮😏
He has to stop getting injured tho
@@primetimeproductions8922 yessir
CHIEFS KINGDOM 😎😎 😎
Chiefs Seahawks super bowl 👀
@@primetimeproductions8922 yep would be epic
Yea bro 28 rac’s for 508 yards 🤯😤🤔🤫🤑
So, folks point out that only CJ had a career.
_You should consider posting a video of the five _*_slowest_*_ skill position players ever_ .
On a much smaller scale, my story is like Jerome Mathis'. I ran JV track and the guys told me that I had caught the attention of the steelers. Then they became jealous and kept telling the coach that I was getting in their way during races. Coach said I was too Slow to be on the men's team. I asked" If the guys are complaining that I am in their way, doesn't that mean that I am clearly ahead of them? " I put ended up that my only attachment to high school sports was doing laundry for the football team. I had a choice. Do the laundry or get beat up by girls. I have scars to this day. Deep mental scars
Listen I personally never thought the 40 yard dash was the best barometer of how truly fast a player is if a field is 100 yards shouldn't the barometer be 100 yards but atleast 60 yards the fastest players to me was 1 bob hayes 2 Darrell green,3 bo jackson,4 herschel walker,Dion Sanders also other guys that were fast that were very fast but not well known frank lewis Steelers james Jett raiders chis Sanders Oilers,cliff branch raiders,curtis dickey colts
Jim Hines, Trindon Holliday, Jeef Demps, and Jacoby Ford all ran faster than all the guys you mentioned.
Yeah but the Fast 100yd guys can't catch the 40yd guys till after 40yds. 95% of plays made are completed within that
100yd times only make a difference on Long Plays that only happen once or twice a game outside of Special Teams
Remember why the 40 yd dash was implemented, there's actually a reason for that.
I don't know how this was put into my recommendations. I was glad it was... That John Ross comment at the end didn't age well though lol
Glad you enjoyed! And yeah sadly he keeps getting injured
@@primetimeproductions8922 He's a NY Giant now....and they are LOADED at WR.
@@ldeue4837 Yup, they got Golladay from free agency and drafted Toney too
Taylor Mays (USC) ran a 4.24 at the NFL combine. Deion Sanders called it. Then all of a sudden, the NFL magically added .2 to his time. Even Deion said there was something suspect about the NFL changing his time. That was the ONLY time they had an issue with the clock during the entire combine. ha ha ha
Jerome Mathis became a correctional officer shortly after his Football career was over😢
I didn't know who the fastest player of NFL combine history was.
Well now you do :)
Jared Schreckengast how did u not know about ross
Are u dumb
Tim Dwight was as fast as anyone. Many can run fast. But football speed is very different from just able to run fast
A lot of guys run faster after the combine this is strictly 40 times at the combine
The way you say Titans is hilarious. You really emphasize that second T.
Lmao you’re not the first person whose said that
@@primetimeproductions8922 Do you do those Attack On Titan videos??
John Ross on the Giants now.. so we'll see
I love John Ross! Check him out @10:42 tapping toes while on top of the defender.... Unfortunately if he isn't traded he'll have a mediocre career.
He’s so talented, but injuries and dismal quarterback play have hindered his career
But wait..... Joe Burrow could be his future QB😲😲😲
Things that destroy people's career:
Pride, EGO, Over-Confidence.
Don't dorget injuries.
@Surface Scracher over confidence gets u injury
Sometimes the coaches are at fault too
Yep!!!!! Over Confident!!!
What was the Combine's 40 yard times for the current top 10 scoring STARTING Wide receivers and top 10 scoring STARTING RB's from the 2019 season?
Anyone have such a list?
One of the fastest players I’ve ever seen was Noel Devine. Ridiculously fast.
I agree, I don't know what happened to him other than the problems here in Ft Myers. But yes he was insanely fast, especially at North High.
Tbh dri was underrated by his own team. Which its sad that they didn't use him because he probably couldve been better than bell specially since how they just lost bell last year or the year before
i dont think he would've been better than bell, but definitely serviceable
@@primetimeproductions8922 well not better most likely but faster. I think 🤔
Yeah definitely faster haha
The only time I can finish in 4.24 is when I'm yanking it to Jennifer Lawrence.
Disgusting ... and funny.
Don’t you mean Trevor Lawrence
@@kevinellis5075 lol i see what you did there
CJ2K had a great career, all things considered. In my opinion, he is a worthy Canton nominee.
Dri Archer was a different type of animal
Either Bo or Prime... D.Sanders never even warmed up,,, & he kept his sweatsuit on!!!
Hand times. Bo's time was fluffed anyway.
2
Joey Galloway is an honorable mention so is probably the fastest player in NFL history Bob Hayes. Joey Galloway, Darrell Green, Bob Hayes & Chris Johnson all have one thing in common.. They are world class sprinters!!
None of those guys except cj2k ran an official time, otherwise I have no doubt they’d be featured in this video
And only Hayes and Green were world class sprinters. Galloway and CJ were not.
@@sydboski ah Joey Galloway & Chris Johnson both were in track & field.
@@geraldpierson2970 Ah yes they both ran track, but neither was world class. Galloway ran a reported 10.35 100m at that time the qualifying standard for the Olympics or World Championships was 10.20. CJ2K's best 100m was 10.66 no where near world class.
@@sydboski CJ2K ran a 10.38
I wish just one of you guys would mention the defender that caught your hero from behind
That was stanford Routt. He ran a 4.27 so just barely didn’t make the list
Ironic how Jerome Mathis and Dri Archer both wore 13
true
There was a rumour Joey Galloway once ran a 3.9 in the 40. But, guess it was a rumour or was unofficial. Who knows.
It was an unofficial time
@@primetimeproductions8922 Not only was it unnoficial it doesn't exist.
The fastest I've ever seen play since I been watching the NFL, was Darrel Green of the Redskins. I am Cowboys fan and it was never fun to see him chase down our WR's. That man was fast.
The fact is if you saw Trindon Holliday play then he's the fastest man you ever seen play in the NFL bc he is in fact the second fastest player ever with a 10.00 100 meter time. Darrel is in the top 10 with his 10.08. The difference is Green is a Hall of Fame player. He was the best I ever saw.
I before E, except after C ;)
What did Darrell Green Deion Sanders and Randy Moss run at the combine somebody?
Combine times weren’t electronic until 2000, so unfortunately their times weren’t official. If I could guess though, probably in the 4.2s or at the very least in the 4.3s
Randy Moss was noted to have ran a 4.25, but it wasn’t official, which is why I didn’t include him in my video
Joe Me I think he answered that question already.
Denny Green stated about Randy Moss "that's what a 4.15 looks like"... Look it up. NOBODY was as fast as Moss in pads!
yep he ran a 4.15 it may not have made the official time at the combine but when Minnesota worked him out that's what he ran
he was the fastest player I ever saw run
@@shanesims7795 BS. Moss never ran 4.15 in his life. The 4.25 at the proday is suspect too because it was hand timed.
40 yard dash times are one thing. But what y'all don't realize is Darrel had the equivalent of what is known in the air force as an "afterburner." When Darrel wanted to turn on the jets, he could turn on the jets. Them tootsies in his socks were basically 150 shots of Nitrous. Film proves this, as he almost magically just moves faster for short bursts.
Chair Force doesn't run. Join the Army or Marines...
3:26 that Raider ran dude down quick. How is he not on this list?
Archer got a bad beat, the guy had skills, coaches know nothing, I mean look at Derrick Henrys first couple of seasons, my fantasy teams suffered and I could not believe they limited his carries considering his otherworldly talent.Dri Archer if used properly would've been a great Nyheim Hines change of pace type back, only faster.Great players lost their careers because of bad coaches and front office decisions.The Rams recently did this to John Kelly, a steal in the 6th round a couple years ago.
Agreed
tyreek ran a 4.24 too
Tyreek hill was not invited to the NFL combine and he also ran a 4.29 at his pro day
4.28
At 5:05, watch Chris Johnson kinda wave at the kicker when he went by him. He stuck his arm out to stiff arm him , but he ended up being too far away. Chris Johnson is the second best running back ever. Dickerson is #1.
Nah. He wasn't better than Marshall Faulk, Adrian Peterson, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Tomlinson, Walter Payton, Bo Jackson, Shaun Alexander, Jim Brown, Priest Holmes, Tiki Barber or Terrell Davis. Dude had 1 Amazing n 3 Real Good Seasons. He was Very Good but not a Great by comparison to any of names I've listed.
I don't say that to try n take any credit from dude. CJ2K just didn't do what he was doing long enough like many other RB's before n after him like Arian Foster, Natron Means,
Remember Renaldo "skeets" Nehemiah I don't remember his time in the 40 but after the first good lick he was done I wanna say it was on Monday night football he was an olympian.
Nehemiah never ran in the Olympics. His 40 was hand timed so it would not qualify for this video. The video is not about how good a player they were it is about what they ran in the 40 that was semi automatic timed.
@@sydboski Yea yea whatever.
I wonder what Rocket Ismail, Qadry Ismail and Joey Galloway were like in the 40 ?
no idea, but I'm guessing 4.2-4.3 range

What I learned is 1. Being the fastest means you can still be a mediocre player. 2. Track shoes and starting blocks make a huge difference in time and they're not allowed to be used in NFL combines
There is a thing called "fast and foolish" in the game of cricket. Guy named patrick patterson had so much pace but no controll. He eventually failed
What about marquise Goodwin didn’t he run a 4.27
Yeah and dri archer ran a 4.26
Sorry I was just looking at the NFL official page and it had marquise at 5
Yup there’s isn’t accurate, which is ironic
PrimeTime Productions if you don’t mind me asking what’s your sources
I made this video a while ago, but it’s easy to confirm everyone’s time in this video online except for rondel menedez, which took some digging to find
Bob Hayes would beat the breaks off all those guys.
Bullet Bob
Well Bob Hayes was actually an Olympian. So I mean he should be able to beat the brakes off of them.
@@ghmck1995 And NFL HOFer and should have been mentioned ahead of Bo Jackson and Deion Sanders in the beginning.
I ran a 3.94 40-yard dash, just not at the combine.
At 1:12 his first two steps are normal, then the Bionic Man takes over.
Sounds like the legend of Bo Jackson has him under 4 seconds at one time in the 40.
I wish he ran an official time... high chance he’d have the best time in nfl history
He ran a 1.3 because he tripped on the start!!!!!
Bo had a run under 4 several times. Too many different time keepers for that to be a myth.
@@MJIZZEL either way i only used official times from the nfl combine. A lot of NFL players claim to have ran in the 4.2s outside of the combine anyways
@@primetimeproductions8922 Yea I understood why he wasn't on the video bro. Just pointing out that it's not a myth just because it wasn't "officially" or electronically clocked. I've actually seen it listed as the combine record before. Anyway....nice video dude keep it up. Good stuff!
Petter Griffin well remember that
The 40 should never be a determining factor for speed. It should always be the 100
Not for football speed. A game of burst, not top end speed.
@@CertifiedPG it's all about balance
100 meters isn't the same as 40 yards. You know that right? They don't run 100 meters on a football field. Not the same unit of measure in determining speed. It's incomparable.
@@bboohhmmaann Like I said
Bo Jackson was just as fast, if not faster than these guys
Agreed, he just didn’t have an official time
Bo Jackson was a freak of nature. If you went into a lab and built the ultimate athlete, Bo Jackson would be the result.
@Roger Martin Bo Jackson 4.19 handheld timer...Bo Jackson would hit a grounder in the infield and beat the throw to first base...that's fast!
@@bigguy162 No he did not, total mythology.
@@imgoing2stayonyourmind654 hey it's easy to UA-cam it...I saw the clip many times
No tavon Austin?
He ran in the 4.3s
PrimeTime Productions no he got 4.25 his first sprint
His official time is 4.34 though, which is what I base this video off of
Tavon Austin was a beast but I feel he was never used correctly in the NFL. He is kind of like a Joker the way he was used in the return, running and receiving game.. But his talent level was far exceeding his actual production on the field.
Agreed, his speed wasn’t properly utilized
The story goes that Deion Sanders didn't warm up or stretch. He showed up a the combine in a limousine, told the driver he would be right back, went is and did one 40 yard sprint, and kept going right back to the limousine without stopping. If that's really how it went down he might have easily clocked a better time had he prepared. Players usually don't run faster than they have to, but when he needed to pull away it was undeniable; Deion was in a league of his own.
Unfortunately Sanders' 40 was hand timed.
Just FYI for future reference... it's not MEN-un-dez... it's Meh-NEN-dez. The injury and off-field events of his life were absolutely tragic and unfortunate. Odds are, he would have been the Falcons' primary returner and probably a 5th rotation WR used mostly in short-time, long yardage drive situations. That alone could have given him a nice career for several years (as long as he kept his speed), despite not being a good WR by any means.
While he may have played well against a handful of weak division 2 defenses in 1996-1997 at Eastern Kentucky, he was not impressive at all against the likes of Troy, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, Southeast Missouri, or the Div 2 playoff game against Western Kentucky in 1997 (half the games on the schedule). He was outright terrible against Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Murray State... the only worthwhile defenses he played his senior year. He basically had 750 receiving yards and 8 TDs against 3 teams in 1998 (Eastern Illinois, Western Kentucky, and UT-Martin), while barely showing up for the other 8 games (less than 300 yards receiving and only 3 TDs). This and the fact that he was an extremely small WR even back then (5'9, 180) are why he wasn't taken until the 7th round.
Also, Menendez NEVER held the record for most receiving yards in a game for Eastern Kentucky. His big game against Eastern Illinois was the second most in school history. The actual record is 316 by Aaron Marsh against Northwood in 1967... 31 years earlier.
