Read an article today that said that Bo Jackson had the fastest 40 yard dash ever at NFL combine at 4.12 seconds.


Maybe but that is completely irrelevant considering it was hand timed. The fastest real combine time was 4.24 (I believe) by Chris Johnson.

Bolt is notoriously a slow starter (all relative of course). I'd say he would run a 4.25-4.30.

What??

Bolt would probably run easily close to a 4 flat, nfl combine times are on the runners movement and not on a gun like in track and field.

my son's speed coach here in Dallas is an olympic sprinter, and he is a lightning fast starter [he runs the 200m]. he could beat Bolt in a short sprint, but Usain's knees get so high in his stride, so he's got a top gear which is ridiculous!

Noi he's not. Carl Lewis was a slow starter but Bolt is a superb starter. In Beijing, he was second after 30 meters, only trailing LSU alumnus Richard Thompson.

The real question is what would be his 40 time if he ran top speed the entire time.
