"By all accounts" provide a link to his 40 time...at the 96 combine! Or I'll even peruse this grandiose tale of a 4.2 by Chester Festerenstein...it's simple...I read 4.7 in his draft guide and the Goose Gosselin DMN draft preview. A valid 4.2 would have gotten him into the first round...even if he came out of Devry! Steve McNair played great in I-AA AND threw well at the combine...first rounder. I'm not sure why your "ball sack" is hanging out but I was already on this thread...you started arguing with ME over a 40 time I remembered. If you can't keep your clothes on you'd probably best not navigate these message boards...accidents could be problematic.
I think I said I didn't buy the 4.23 didn't I Richard? You have followed me around like a lost puppy for weeks now. Whats the fascination? Low hangers or just not a damn thing to do in Elm Hill? First of the month will be here soon enough and the mailman will run I promise. Just relax and wait for it.
While you are waiting.....
Looking Back: Terrell Owens
"I was just feeling really good that day and thought I'd see how far along I'd come," Owens said following his sensational 40-yard-dash, electronically clocked in a record 4.19 seconds at a speed camp in Berkeley, CA, on what is considered a "slow track". Owens, who broke his own record for the track of 4.33 seconds set several months earlier, had recently defeated rookie 49ers wide receiver Michael Jennings, a former Florida State track star, in an impromptu 40-yard-dash in Osaka, Japan. He decided the time was right to see just how fast he had become.
Owens had trained hard all off-season long in both 2001 and 2002, putting primary focus on improving his speed.
"It's not that I wasn't already fast," said Owens, "It's just that I knew I could get much faster if I really concentrated my efforts on improving the performance of my fast-twitch muscle fibers. I'd already come a long way, but I could really feel my body starting to change into one that could do special things from an explosion standpoint, so I decided to see how far I could take it."
The results were breathtaking, as Owens followed up his awk-inspiring display in defeating an elite track athlete by running what is believed to be the fastest legitimate 40-yard-dash time in NFL history.
"To be honest, I thought I could have run a little better," said Owens afterward, "I had run a 4.33 on this track immediately following the 2001 season, and that was against the wind, and Mike (Jennings) had been hand-timed in the 4.19 to 4.21 range before, so I thought I had a chance at getting under 4.1. But I ain't complaining."
Since Owens's run in 2002, no athlete has run better than 4.39 on this surface.
