This fan bragged that he could run a 4.4 in the 40-yard dash.

Then @katienolan asked him to prove it 😬 pic.twitter.com/jvXR4LTGIi

Look at those strides!

Pretty good for a power walk. I think he trained at his local mall a few mornings a week.

I have no idea what I'd get either. Hopefully I would look less beta than that dude while trying though

cheezedawg

...that form though. =\ Doesn't anyone teach sprinting anymore?

Stride length is something that most don't understand.

Archaea

These segments are the best. They need to keep embarrassing internet trolls.

JohnnyComeLately

4/24/19 12:17pm

How do they get someone to go on camera and embarrass themselves like that?

Tricky

4/24/19 12:55pm

He seemed to lack self-awareness in general. Probably thought "ok, maybe I can't

Same reason all those terrible singers line up for American Idol.

Because he honestly thought he could do it...

Clueless millennial?

I saw the other segments on field goal kicking.

Pretty sure I'd just walk out the door and keep walking...

Yikes... that is one ugly running motion

Watching him try to sprint, I wonder if he identifies as a male.

Division Bell

My exact thoughts.

Everyone is missing the point. That is the fastest speedwalker I have ever seen

People are so jaded and ignorant when it comes to actual 40 yard times.

The average couch potato can't run a 5.0.

Archaea

4/24/19 12:40pm

The average non couch potato can't run 5.0 either...

CoachSpeak

Who is the media personality who runs it every year?

displacedute

4/24/19 1:38pm

Rich Eisen

gilbertatty

4/24/19 1:39pm

Right. and I was being charitable. Apparently he rarely breaks a 6.0.

displacedute

4/24/19 3:02pm

Agreed.

Archaea

4/24/19 2:25pm

I was about the tenth fastest kid on my HS team and I ran mid 4.7s

This is true....

displacedute

While there are few that do run that fast....

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 2:12pm

There's absolutely no way those times were legit.

displacedute

4/24/19 3:00pm

I didn’t say they were legit...

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 5:27pm

Multiples this year claiming to be 4.4 or below?

displacedute

4/24/19 5:47pm

I like how with Utah h you just reference pro day guys...

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 6:15pm

I went through all the DBs and WRs on this year's roster.

displacedute

4/25/19 10:42am

Just wait until their Utah times get out...

CoachSpeak

4/25/19 10:45am

Also, you've not had a single player run a 4.4x at the combine

displacedute

4/24/19 6:13pm

That's a function of the fact that our speed players don't get invites.

jkccoug

4/25/19 8:36am

Right, but the tweets suggested you had 3 SUB 4.4 guys.

displacedute

4/25/19 10:33am

And they might have that one year...

CoachSpeak

4/25/19 10:39am

You went through the roster and so did I...

Feel free to find me one.

That dude is cocky

Croweater

4/24/19 12:27pm

I am confident that 50% of CBers would look just as silly sprinting 40 yards

BigTD

4/24/19 12:45pm

50%? Try about 95%. Unless you are trained in striding and have run track

I have no doubt I could crush that guy in the video. But that means bupkus.

Up through my forties I could compete, but after fifty, you are no longer

Archaea

My fastest 40 in high school was 4.72

byuguns55

4/24/19 1:12pm

It's funny when you know what you ran and compare.

wilsdad

4/24/19 2:18pm

Most high schools don't have legit 4.4s. Those guys are running sub 11.0 100 mtr

Archaea

4/24/19 2:26pm

Once again true....

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 2:44pm

Most timing is done improperly to make one look faster than one is.

Archaea

Especially true at pro day in the hill....

Get back to us when Utah doesn’t claim multiples running that EVERY year...

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 5:42pm

They didn't claim it THIS YEAR.

They claim to have multiples on the roster...

Looks like he is trying to not poop his pants as he "runs."
