The only way to know Bolt's 40 time is for him to run one. I think he could break 4.2.
Fair enough. I just think if he could do that, he probably would do it just to show that he could. I mean, its never been done before.

Someone in the thread already posted this chart, but I'll post it again:

Bolt reached 40m in 4.64. The timing for NFL 40y starts when the athlete makes their first movement (correct?). To adjust Bolt's time toward the NFL time, you would subtract his reaction time, .146, which would bring him to a bit under 4.50 for 40 meters.
You would add .24 to all of the NFL guys' times since they are not using fully-automatic timing. That would put Chris Johnson at 4.48 for 40 yards, which is less (considerably) than 40 meters.
