Fast, for sure, but somehow I doubt that he's .07 faster than the fastest electronically timed 40 in NFL combine history - Chris Johnson's 4.24.

Utes report having 4 players that would've been top 10 fastest at NFL combine

You could say it's almost a handicap bring that fast

over pursuit, you try and beat a guy to the edge, next thing you know, you are

Peach shnapps? They don't sell that at RES.

Also, it hurts if you are running the wrong direction.

Only four? Down year for them.

I would believe it if they said all but 4 would have been the fastest

Have they even had 4 top 10s in the history of their program and the combine?

have they ever had 1 top 10 ever at the combine?

BigYfan

Good question. Seems like I remember 1 or 2.

The U does have multiple top 10 40s at the combine since 2006, but

finishing 5th in the south

and that's just the linemen. Imagine if they included the rest of the team.

That fifth place finish is really going to their heads. I mean - they even beat

Utah is the North Korea of college football. Shame on the Trib for reporting

They also have nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills.

THREE AL-I-GA-TOR! FOUR AL-I-G..(runner crosses line) Nice, bro! You got a 4.40!

Until this year, the squat record was 930. Now it is 1025.

This is what a 4.2 looks like. The actual hand timed speed was 4.17

Here's the top 11 combine times

dryflyelk

8/4/15 11:09am

Yep. Hand timed needs to add .15-.2 to be about what electronic does.

Why not drop it by .15? Who's to say the starter didn't START the timer to soon?

Here's the #1 fastest time ever.

^^^Exhibit A for why they do it. Ignorant Ute fans actually believe these times.

Greatest play ever. I wish they had him on the clock for his 40.

This must be like when you take a video of a propeller and it just looks slow

They are fast enough to beat us - again & again & again & again

Utah and TCU often recruit sprint champions that are not huge football stars

ALUF 1990

Sounds like the Utes have more than the NFC's share of elite speed
