Is Freeney seriously not on this list?


No doubt, dude is a SUPER FREAK. I just couldn't find any verifiable numbers for him.

Same with Deion Sanders, Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, Michael Jordan, Dominique Wilkins, etc. In recent years everything is so well documented, but on the older guys, there is just not verifiable information.

Drew Brees


Beat Andy Roddick in Junior tennis and recently shot a 63 at the NOCC. Brees is a freak for a white boy. Not to mention his display at Zephyr field when he was switch hitting homeruns at BP during a softball fundraiser.

Dexter McCluster

He didn't have the kind of 40 time that many expected, but he really showed out on the bench. I can't remember the exact amount, but it was at least 25.

Dustin Keller had a crazy combine a 6-3, 240.

I can't find the exact numbers, but he was named the most athletic at his Combine by the NFL Network...

All the NFL numbers I got from directly from official combine or pro day results. You got a link for the 4.28 Johnson ran?

NBA numbers came from the Draft Express site.

There is a lot of unsubstantiated stuff like Bo and Deion running in the 4.1s, but like I said, I just stuck to verifiable numbers.

Pro days are nearly always run on an actual track. Granted the Indy surface is apparently very fast for being turf, but it isn't near as fast as an actual track. I know Va Tech reportedly has an extremely fast track as well.

I could easily see Andre Johnson running that fast on a track. He used to do track back in the day, and he also ran a 50 yard race at the pro bowl one year where he placed second to just Rossum I believe.

Didn't Boss Bailey, Champ's little brother (actually much bigger physically), run a 4.6 and have like a 46" vert?

VT is the king of reporting players run x, and they end up running 0.2 slower at their pro days...sometimes worse (kevin jones was like 0.3 or so off lol)

OSU has a fast track
