I dont know why they really care about the 40's its not like the person with the stop watch is going to stop it right when he crosses the line. So why would .1/.2/.3/.4/.5 even matter.
i need some help im 5''4 100 lbs im 15 and on the football team im small but not fast even alot of the big guys beat me in the 40's, 60's, and 80's how can i get faster
even if it was hand time i mean thats fucked up and that really did not look like a 4.16 m sorry......i mean the times i have ran are 4.53 4.56 4.54 4.61 4.71 so my range is from 4.53 to 4.71 theres alot of factors that can be taken into account
lol he doesnt run a 4.15... i just watched him play on the titans and they said he runs a, I think, 4.24, but don't quote me on that, it wasn't in the 4.1's though
why would you say that you know no one believes you got 4.18 why do ppl lie like that your probably some fat kid sitting on his couch right now eating chips and drinking soda
first of all i cant believe you asked who it was when it clearly states who it is in the despcription...second of all get off chris johnson's nuts hes not even good when he plays good defenses like today he played the bears he had 14 attemps for like 8 yards he is garbage!!
i know this video is kinda old but listen here mr bears fan. im a ravens fan. bears suck.. no playoffs ? they played the baltimore #2 defense and chris johnson had 100+ yards in the first half. you're an idiot. stop criticizing people with more talent then you. Do some research.
yeah, chris johnson is doing fine. He ran all over the raven and thats one the best defense in nfl. He had 70 yards in the first quarter and he hurt himself. If chris would have been in the game and stayed, that outcome might have changed.
Yea.. watch Witherspoon return kicks for the Jags and tell me he doesn't reach his top speed almost immediately. He is going to return 3-4 kicks for TDs every season. He's that fast.
All you losers trying to time him yourselves from this video.. you're really, really dumb. That's all I'm going to say. Watching his in-game speed is like watching art in motion.
by the way in madden i dont understand why dev in hester got 100 rating in speed but didnt get a 100 rating in kick return thats where he should have been 100
Hester is not a good kick returner. In fact he's bottom half in the league. He's a freak at punt returns though, that's where he's a monster. Leon Washington, Joshua Cribbs, Andre Davis, etc are all better kick returners though. Hester's the best punt returner ever to play in the NFL.
right about that i think chris johnson should have the highest speed in the game and Brian Witherspoon because they both ran a 4.1 thats fast and hester got a 4.4.
depends on your size and acelleration abilities, Chris rainey and jess demps for example both run 4o yrds in 4.2 but Jeff runs a 10.01 100m while rainey runs a 10.6
people, this was posted by joe defranco. the best strength and speed trainer in the nation if not the world. this is an internet video so it throws it off a little. joe would not like about something like this. he ran a 4.16, no question.
ALL of you are gay... you are bitching about the difference between 4.16 & 4.21 when it could absolutely be youtube compressing the file differently than it was actually recorded, get a life...
this kid btw, without training for the 100 ran it it 10.1, so it's fair to say, that he is one of the fastest players in the NFL. Stop being internet heroes n bitching about the time of a 40 on youtube & just enjoy a kid running a fucking 40 about a second faster than your fat asses could!
Now tell me when does an NFL or college or high school player run for 40 strait yards. the 40 yard dash should not be so heavily looked at like it is. Also to the guy who was talking about top speed at 60 yards that doesn't matter either in the NFL and College they want acceleration and quickness not a top speed at 60 yards the field is only 100 yards and you are not running it strait either.
they look at 10 and 20 too, to evaluate acceleration. it's just one of many things that they need to use to differentiate who from who aside from game tape. it's the only time these guys can be compared side by side in a legit fashion, which is impossible within the game (via tape, or whatever). everyone complains about the 40, the 225 rep deal, etc. upper management in the NFL invests hundreds of millions in the players, scouting, etc. why anyone still doubts what they are doing, i don't know.
Watch an Olympic 100 meter sometime. These guys are running their top speed and accelerating as quickly as they can, which is why I think it's fair to compare. They're lifting their heads (signifying top speed is being reached) about when this guy here is finishing. I'm not saying he isn't fast. He is. I just disagree that he can be called the fastest man in football. He simply has the fastest acceleration.
yeah but your reaction time for stopping the stopwatch on your phone is at best .25, probably .30, whitch is ost people's physical(non-timed) reaction time.
not when you run properly. If you're trying to hit your true full speed you accelerate for longer then 40 yards. Most people hit top speed around the 50-65 yards. In football you try to get to top speed quicker, because you obviously want to be a top speed as soon as possible, but you don't go through the correct drive phase and you don't hit the ideal top speed.
uhh great players go from stop to full speed in about 3 steps. barry sanders owned because he went from a dead stop to full speed in about 2 steps. not 60 or 40 yards. 40 yard dash is just to show how fast that really is. 20 yard dash times are very similar for most players but 40 yard dash is far enough to show the difference in speed. 40 yard dash is just to give a team a good idea of how capable the player is
lol, what losers are you talking about, most people definitely reach top-speed at around 60, the 40 tells nothing about true speed its just a measure of acceleration
Does it matter if the timing was perfect? Fact is the guy is damn fast, he's getting a shot at the NFL and can out run 99.9% of the lame asses that are debating his speed
ok here is the scoop for every1 who post after this and say he isnt fast. it may look like he isnt fast but i have seen this wit my own eyes. i played 2 years of d2football wit him and we also ran on the 4x100 meter relay together. his times are legit we also saw him run it in front of the jacksonville jags' scout and he couldnt believe it. so yes its legit and everyone who knows speed knows its the truth.
well check this homie ol boy didnt pay for nothing. It was free because he ran a 4.16(BEFORE TRAINNING) in 40 at his proday junior year at STILLMAN(d-2). Was offer to run for the USA track team, YES HE DOES HAVE 4.2 GAME SPEED, YOU MUST AINT SAW HIM RETURN A KICK YET!!!
desean ran a 4.29 and that was electric and he ran a 4.35 at the combine not 4.37 so there's only a .06 difference. But there wasn't a big different in timing equipment.
Regardless the standard from what i've always heard it .24
When you do it hand timed you have to add .3 seconds. So a 4.1=4.4. In international track and field competition if you don't have an automatic timer you have to handicap your time by .3 a 4.1something handtimed is bogus
im sorry but thats complete bullshit, it all depends on if the person times it right or not if its handtimed its not ALWAYS going to be off especially by .3 seconds, it may be off by like .1 but not that much. if u dont believe me go get a stopwatch and time this 40 ten times
not really. most nfl teams don't trust handtimed forty times. they at least want part of it to be electronically stopped or started, considering machines have quicker reflexes than people. I mean, there have been so many reports of sub 4.4 forty times at college pro days, and then at the combine they're always at like 4.5-4.6. So the idea of adding .3 seconds to a handtimed forty time isn't that preposterous to me.
why does he run flat footed? i thought to run faster it had to be on your toes cause i run on my toes and im okay fast i got about a 12-11.7 in the 100 so if i run flat footed would i get 11.5?
no, i ran flat footed in 8th grade ran a 11.9 got to highschool get some coaching under my blelt they told tought me to run on my toes, my PR as a freshman was 11.3
Does anyone know the purpose of the arms moving in the reverse directions during the initial start? Also if running flat footed as he does after the 3rd step is a good thing? Not hating just wanting to know if that is what is being taught? Just wanting to keep up with the latest knowledge on running a fast forty.
Stop watch times aren't accurate. I twitch of the hand can mean the difference between a 4.16 and a 4.24. I'll believe it when i see his electronic timed 40.
He is now a jacksonville jaguar and will be on special teams more than likely. If you google his name you will see his offical run speeds and yes his 4.16 is his fastest.
Distance-wise it does look to be about a 40 to me. Have no idea what he timed at though. All I know for sure is that the man has perfect technique throughout his sprint.
it seemed to me that because he didn't take off until about 2 seconds into the video and just finsihed his 40 right when 6 seconds hit.....seems like it could be...just wish we had a time to prove instead of saying yeah 4.16 fastest ever...
I cant believe nyone would compare soccer to football.Ya maybe you run a lil more in soccer but then again theres no physical contact that wears on the entire body, and as soon as there is all there is is straight bitchin soccer players are pussy's dont ever compare the 2 aportsv
haha. at my school we had a soccer vs. football game. the soccer players whooped our ass but it cuz they had plays and stuff while we ran around and kicked the ball. but everybody knows how 2 play backyard football. and when i say bodies were flyin(for blocks)..... their strongest player complained that they didnt have enough size. does size matter n 2 hand touch???
These Americans dont know that there are soccer players in LAtin America and Europe who runs 40yard dashes in 4.0 SECONDS FLAT. Why? Because in an average soccer game, a soccer player runs about 6 miles, without timeouts because soccer does not have timeouts. Thats what we do, RUN and footwork. CATCH UP american football,basketball.
Soccer players ARE sometimes faster and more agile, but i have to admit that soccer players arent built like D-Mac. There are some players that are built but you dont usually find guys like D-Mac in football let alone soccer. We are built for agility, speed, and so are muscles are alot leaner and made for endurance. Yea i occasionally watch our american sports and sometimes think to myself how lazy they are compared to soccer. Just different sports. I LOVE all sports. I just like soccer better.
actually there is no soccer player that runs a 4.0 in the 40 yard dash. And your a retard because running six miles every game is actually making you slower! long distance running is only working on endurance. long distance running completely destroys explosion.
well u soccer players dont have to worry about a 350 pound line men hitting u from behind. now i play both soccer and foot ball and in my opinion football is more painful to the body than soccer is
couple years ago they had the fastest soccer player compete against in this competion with nfl players, i forgot the name of it but they all raced each other in the 40 and the nfl players killed the soccer player, i remember the soccer player ran only a 5.1 40 yard dash, and he was suppose to be one of the fastest soccer players.
You guys are stupid. tenths of a second are a big difference. 0.1 secs could look like a 2-5 yard differential which is noticeable. It DOES MATTER.
I run 100m in 10.30. 40 yard dash is 4.20. Im in 11th grade.

Does it matter if the timing was perfect? Fact is the guy is damn fast, he's getting a shot at the NFL and can out run 99.9% of the lame asses that are debating his speed

oh and also he is currently on the jags roster. so look him up and give smaller colleges some props.
tdavis1736 3 years ago
ok here is the scoop for every1 who post after this and say he isnt fast. it may look like he isnt fast but i have seen this wit my own eyes. i played 2 years of d2football wit him and we also ran on the 4x100 meter relay together. his times are legit we also saw him run it in front of the jacksonville jags' scout and he couldnt believe it. so yes its legit and everyone who knows speed knows its the truth.
tdavis1736 3 years ago
well check this homie ol boy didnt pay for nothing. It was free because he ran a 4.16(BEFORE TRAINNING) in 40 at his proday junior year at STILLMAN(d-2). Was offer to run for the USA track team, YES HE DOES HAVE 4.2 GAME SPEED, YOU MUST AINT SAW HIM RETURN A KICK YET!!!
FYI-HE WAS MY TEAMMATE
stillmanboi07 3 years ago
Dude.... 0.3 is not the amount you add. Consult a track coach you add between 0.15 and 0.2 to a hand time to get the automatic time.
Example: Desesan Jackson was reported to run a 4.2 hand time. At the combine he ran a 4.37.
Add 0.15 to this guys number and youve got 4.3.
FYI: A teamate of mine trained at DEfranco and ran a 4.42 there hand timed. AT the NFL combine he ran 4.47 so it all depends on the runner and timer.
TRhis Witherspoon guy is a 4.20-4.38 guy period.
robber11 3 years ago 2
desean ran a 4.29 and that was electric and he ran a 4.35 at the combine not 4.37 so there's only a .06 difference. But there wasn't a big different in timing equipment.
Regardless the standard from what i've always heard it .24

wow ur acomplete dumbass at the combine they have 2 stop wathes and aelectronic timing system.there is no official time they are all unofficial.
sportdude08 3 years ago
When you do it hand timed you have to add .3 seconds. So a 4.1=4.4. In international track and field competition if you don't have an automatic timer you have to handicap your time by .3 a 4.1something handtimed is bogus
dsouled 3 years ago 2
im sorry but thats complete bullshit, it all depends on if the person times it right or not if its handtimed its not ALWAYS going to be off especially by .3 seconds, it may be off by like .1 but not that much. if u dont believe me go get a stopwatch and time this 40 ten times
4loveor4money 3 years ago
not really. most nfl teams don't trust handtimed forty times. they at least want part of it to be electronically stopped or started, considering machines have quicker reflexes than people. I mean, there have been so many reports of sub 4.4 forty times at college pro days, and then at the combine they're always at like 4.5-4.6. So the idea of adding .3 seconds to a handtimed forty time isn't that preposterous to me.

why does he run flat footed? i thought to run faster it had to be on your toes cause i run on my toes and im okay fast i got about a 12-11.7 in the 100 so if i run flat footed would i get 11.5?
frigginbartsimpson1 3 years ago
no, i ran flat footed in 8th grade ran a 11.9 got to highschool get some coaching under my blelt they told tought me to run on my toes, my PR as a freshman was 11.3

hes not running flat footed... its called dorsiflexion you idiots
osurecruiter 3 years ago 2
Does anyone know the purpose of the arms moving in the reverse directions during the initial start? Also if running flat footed as he does after the 3rd step is a good thing? Not hating just wanting to know if that is what is being taught? Just wanting to keep up with the latest knowledge on running a fast forty.
tttjump 3 years ago
if you start with your hand in the air, the time keeper knows when to start the watch..cuz he see's your hand move, he knows when to hit the button.
prettyricky46 3 years ago
Stop watch times aren't accurate. I twitch of the hand can mean the difference between a 4.16 and a 4.24. I'll believe it when i see his electronic timed 40.
seven7one1six6 3 years ago 2
Why does he have to make it look so easy? He should just turn pro in track.
dawtyd 3 years ago
He is now a jacksonville jaguar and will be on special teams more than likely. If you google his name you will see his offical run speeds and yes his 4.16 is his fastest.
AndyEd1983 3 years ago
my stop watch coincides with the time on the clip. i can't be sure if it was the 40yd distance.
brooksge2001 3 years ago
Distance-wise it does look to be about a 40 to me. Have no idea what he timed at though. All I know for sure is that the man has perfect technique throughout his sprint.

it seemed to me that because he didn't take off until about 2 seconds into the video and just finsihed his 40 right when 6 seconds hit.....seems like it could be...just wish we had a time to prove instead of saying yeah 4.16 fastest ever...

I cant believe nyone would compare soccer to football.Ya maybe you run a lil more in soccer but then again theres no physical contact that wears on the entire body, and as soon as there is all there is is straight bitchin soccer players are pussy's dont ever compare the 2 aportsv
again.

haha. at my school we had a soccer vs. football game. the soccer players whooped our ass but it cuz they had plays and stuff while we ran around and kicked the ball. but everybody knows how 2 play backyard football. and when i say bodies were flyin(for blocks)..... their strongest player complained that they didnt have enough size. does size matter n 2 hand touch???

These Americans dont know that there are soccer players in LAtin America and Europe who runs 40yard dashes in 4.0 SECONDS FLAT. Why? Because in an average soccer game, a soccer player runs about 6 miles, without timeouts because soccer does not have timeouts. Thats what we do, RUN and footwork. CATCH UP american football,basketball.
gdelaguila1 3 years ago
Soccer players ARE sometimes faster and more agile, but i have to admit that soccer players arent built like D-Mac. There are some players that are built but you dont usually find guys like D-Mac in football let alone soccer. We are built for agility, speed, and so are muscles are alot leaner and made for endurance. Yea i occasionally watch our american sports and sometimes think to myself how lazy they are compared to soccer. Just different sports. I LOVE all sports. I just like soccer better.

gatorboy2606 3 years ago
actually there is no soccer player that runs a 4.0 in the 40 yard dash. And your a retard because running six miles every game is actually making you slower! long distance running is only working on endurance. long distance running completely destroys explosion.

well u soccer players dont have to worry about a 350 pound line men hitting u from behind. now i play both soccer and foot ball and in my opinion football is more painful to the body than soccer is
contestboy2 3 years ago
couple years ago they had the fastest soccer player compete against in this competion with nfl players, i forgot the name of it but they all raced each other in the 40 and the nfl players killed the soccer player, i remember the soccer player ran only a 5.1 40 yard dash, and he was suppose to be one of the fastest soccer players.
