I go to high school track meets and it's a straight up cluster on sprinting form. Hurdles are a complete disaster..

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

Stride length is something that most don't understand.

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

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

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

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.

Who is the media personality who runs it every year?

Rich Eisen

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

Agreed.

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

There's absolutely no way those times were legit.

Multiples this year claiming to be 4.4 or below?

displacedute

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

CoachSpeak

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...

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

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

Once again true....

CoachSpeak

4/24/19 2:44pm

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