in the past decade. Collie ran a 4.53. The last one I could find was Watkins (4.40) and he and Luke (4.42) are the only two in 20 years (going back to the 2000 combine). Utah has had more than double that many in the past 5.

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

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

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?

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

displacedute

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?

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

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

Just wait until their Utah times get out...

CoachSpeak

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

displacedute

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

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

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