I figured the honesty in this thread would rival the how much can you bench threads plus the typical 3.50 replies. The OT never disappoints.

Anybody who memorizes their generously adjusted 40 yard time is a douchebag.

A coach hand timed me at 4.7 in high school. Zero chance that was accurate, I'd think it was a W if I was actually under 5.

People saying times that would land them in the top 20 of the NFL Combine always give me a chuckle.

Ran a 4.75 in high school than I got it down to 4.5 sec after I dropped that extra 10 pounds. Not bad for a 6’5 “ 240 lb er

Kevin Johnson?


Our soccer coach timed us with a stop watch so I am sure it was off but it was a high 4.6. I was faster than boomshockalocka but he was better than me at untimely goals.

High school I ran a 4.39. Man my chest was puffed out for 2 days. Sub 4.4? Whaaat. Hell now you could time my old arse with a sun dial.

Average 40 time of OT appears to be lower than that of LBs and RBs at the combine.

You didn't know Baby Tac was simultaneously a world-class sprinter and marathon runner?

7.1 at 386lbs. Junior year.

6.2 at 275lbs senior year.

5.7 at 230lbs college junior.

Ive always been slow.


I actually ran only 0.1 seconds slower while carrying the smallest member of our team junior year


Eta: most of those times were probably a second too fast

We’ve had multiple sub 4.40s and a low 4.4 in the first few pages. Truly blessed to be in the presence of such athletic prowess past or present.

I think a coach said 4.9 just to be nice.

Never ran the 40.

Ran the 100 meters in 10.9 in high school. Was on the 4x100 team that won states back in my high school days.

I think my 40 time would have been 4.5. I was never great out of the blocks. Had great top end speed.
