No way would any football player ever come close to Bolt in the 40. This guys says he calculated the numbers and in Bolt's world record 100m, if he was timed using the NFL method, he ran an electronic 3.97.
Those of you who think Bolt is a slow starter, he had a discernible lead at 20 meters over the best sprinters in the world.

most olympic sprinters compete in 60m sprints in the off-season to help train for their events.

LR: "Forty yards, if he was being hand-timed by a scout and reacting to his movement - not electronically timed the way they do it [in track and field] - his 40-yard dash on a track, in spikes, would be 3.73 seconds.
