A lot of talk about 40-yard dashes this weekend, so we asked the fastest man in the NCAA @__coleman to run one.

.....8.5/9 lol

Good. Gracious.

I thought 4.2 was about the floor on 40 times. Maybe a 4.18 from Bolt or some per sprinting world champion, but wow. Just wow. I see gold in his future.

Can he catch a football(?)! :rock:

This all day!!!

At 5'9" 160 he's a bit lean on stature. He's obviously really fast though.

put on a little muscle and he could be a running back :rock:

 

[RoxyVol]

You can always try to teach a guy to run routes and catch a football and with this kind of blazing speed I think it would be worth a try.

 

[njvols]

Sign him up!

 

[EricberryFAN]

Add a little weight and put him next to Berry on Kickoffs.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Could he have done 4 flat with Bolt running next to him?

 

[vol-un-tear]

Wow! That Vol is fast! Would love to see what he can do on the field!

 

[PowerT.]

Wow

Al Davis just rose from his grave to demand he be signed to a 4 year 40+ million contract for that 40 time alone.

 

[Madscientistvol]

Dayum!

 

[Power T-Rev]

Pretty sure I saw somewhere where they said if Usain Bolt ran the 40, it would be around 3.98 secs

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

Wow!

 

[mitzustu]

Pretty sure I saw somewhere where they said if Usain Bolt ran the 40, it would be around 3.98 secs

Bolt is actually much faster in the back half of his race than the front half. Several people could take him in a 40.

well, weight would help, but doubt it would make him a full-time RB...no...he's a specialty type...speed on the edge or out in the open...slots...sweeps...maybe, even punts...but, wherever...that's fast...

GBO!

I'm glad he's on our side!

Not worth it for Coleman. Huge money in track when you are one of the best.

 

[paige_09]

Is this the same guy?

Yeah I don't think I'd risk an Olympic gold medal- and the endorsements that come with it- for football, where chance of injury is much higher.

Unless I like football more/equally.
