But based on using only the best electronic times, the fastest clocking at this year's combine was 4.28 by Ford -- .04 off Johnson's electronic time in 2008. Ford was clocked by hand at 4.24 and 4.25 on the same run and had an even better 4.22 hand-held time on his second run. Based on that, Ford actually had two of the top three times at this combine.

The next top electronic times this year were 4.34 by Holliday and 4.37 by Spiller. But Holliday -- a world-class sprinter with a 10-flat 100 meters on his résumé -- had similar and much faster hand-held times of 4.21 and 4.25 on the same run in which electronic clocking was only 4.34 -- a difference of between .13 and .09 seconds.

That said, Auburn superstar Bo Jackson has the best verifiable time at a combine with his 4.12 clocking at the New Orleans Superdome in 1986

Depending on which inexact science you prefer, Jacoby Ford might or might not have the second-fastest 40 in combine annals. (Getty Images)

However, those times are not being acknowledged as best ever by NFL.com because they were recorded as hand-held rather than electronic watches.

Exactly

Why do we care about a hand time? It is just stupid. An electronic time is way more reliable. It can be seen by the scatter of error from the hnd held times compared to the ele tronic device.

02/28/2010 - DISPUTED RECORD: LSU's 5-foot-5 kick returner Trindon Holliday ran a blazing 40-yard dash Saturday morning. There were disputed reports as to whether he beat the record 4.24 time set two years ago by current Titans running back Chris Johnson. ESPN reported that Holliday ran a 4.22, while NFL.com said he narrowly missed the record with times of 4.27 and 4.32. Later, it was reported he ran a 4.34. The issue remains unsettled, as official times are expected to be sent out to teams within the next couple of weeks. - Charles Chandler, The Charlotte Observer
