dfitzo53 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Originally posted by Cowboy4ever I read a good article the other day - I think it was from NFL.com - which explained how NFL 40 times are a joke. If I remember right, they said that Ben Johnson's estimated 40 yd time (estimated during his world record 60m sprint) was like 4.3. Realistically, you can take virtually every 40 time you've ever seen and add .1 or .2 to it. Out of curiousity, have you been reading the previous posts in this thread?

Ax Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 When I was nineteen or so, I hopped a fence to retrieve a football before my friend could tell me about .... ....the dog next door. :yikes: It was a beautiful German Shepherd, with an attitude. We first made eye contact just as I reached the ball. He had just gotten to his feet, er um, paws, and seemed rather pissed that I had disturbed his nap time. There were no stop watches that day, but I'm positve that the time in which it took me to cover the distance back to, and over the fence, when projected out to 40 yards, was easily sub 4.0. That kind of adrenaline is more powerful than steroids. :whew: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Vet Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I love it.....1/2 the board here at Extremeskins are faster than any of the top 5 CBs drafted this year. ...I was a distance runner in HS.....couldn't sprint to save my life....shortest I ever ran was the 800 competitively......Ran the 5K X country and the Mile......15:35 and 4:26 respectively......during the summer ran TAC and was nationally ranked in the 2000M Steeplechase.... .....but 3 knee surgeries and way too many pounds later....'dem days are long gone.....

Exactly what I was thinking. :laugh: Kind of reminds me of similar threads concerning benchpressing on other sites, where everyone seems to be able to benchpress well over twice their weight!

KDawg Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Right, because no one can bench press twice their weight! It's impossible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't say that, but the ratio of Internet forum users who are able to bench twice their weight and run sub-4.5 40-yard dashes just defy statistical probability.

To be fair, more people here have probably spent time in a gym than, say, members of a flower-arranging forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Loki Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Originally posted by miragv I really do not believe anyone who says they ran a 4.4 40 considering it was analyzed and concluded that Ben Johnson ran the 40 in 4.38 in his famous race....which he was juiced for. Agreed....some of you guys are either lying your faces off, or were timed by hand, on turf, with the wind at your backs, etc. Keep it coming though, some of these numbers are hilarious.

Heidenreich Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 I can run around a softball diamond in about 12 seconds, and that's 80 yards. So I guess I run the 40 in about six seconds.... I like it better when i trot around the bases though..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then why don't you try out for the US olympic team. You're a shoe in for the 100m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FS36 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Can't believe you still don't realize that those 4.3, 4.4 times these WRs and CBs are running are really more like 4.6-4.8 Read the article pls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never seen anyone in the seats at FEDEX Field that looks as if the can run anywhere under a 5.5 sec 40 While I'll question the ones posting in the low 4s, I'm sure there are many who can hit under a 5.5. Heck I ran it in 5.6 (yes, hand timed, so add whatever) at the beginning of our season this year, and I'm basically a non-running female, who just gets lucky with a really nice burst off the line. I know the smaller girls on our team are down in the 5.0-5.3 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
