re: What was your peak 40 yard dash time?

I dunno, hard to use a sun dial for that.

Yeah, I’m old. A hand timed 40 wasn’t much more accurate.

Yeah, he was freakish, incredibly explosive and quick, great lateral movement. But not a true speed demon.

Y’all are all full of shite.

I played football in high school. I ran a 4.7

Me too. Also played JUCO baseball. I was a safety and ran a 4.79 or basically a 4.8. Destroyed my ankle in practice right before the second game of my junior year. I mean, tore the ligaments and tendons all up. It's still fricked today. I pretty much don't have a left ankle. Anyway, I gutted out and played on it. Our coaches decided to time us in the 40 the week of the 9th game and I ran a 5.3. I got it back to a 4.8 the summer of my senior year. I had 6 picks my senior year, and I believe playing at 5.3 speed my junior year made me better at taking angles and reacting because I didn't have any speed.

We got put out of the playoffs the previous year by another all-white team: Teurlings Catholic

4.4 hand timed…

4.6 but was hand time. Coaches always added 2 inches of height and 20 pounds in the program. So probably 4.8.

My best was 5.2-5.3. Nobody else sniffed sub 4.7 except for like the 3 or 4 fast kids.

4.47
