Forget about routes, cuts, pads, or taking hits, that's not the point of this. Olympic sprinters rarely claim, if ever, they could make it in the NFL. The point of Coleman's 40 is to shut up all these NFL players thinking they'd stand a chance against ANY Olympic sprinter, let alone Bolt.

To quote Madden NFL 11: "He's got get away from the cop

I rant a 3.8 on my way to the john this morning

Pure insanity. If you make a 4.3/4.4 which is 99% elite look slow... You're a monster.

[keenanhenderson]

Track athletes are world class sprinters

[niamhoconnor]

NFL guys: We're fast

60 meter world record holder Christian Coleman: _lemme go ahead and do 40 yards in 4.12_

[nikoflow_fm]

splits:
10 yards: 1.57
20 yards: 2.47
30 yards: 3.34
40 yards: 4.12

Terrifying speed.

[jamiecummings]

Its looks effortlessly to him, very impressive!

[no-bozos]

The thing that I notice most about REALLY fast people is the lack of head movement once they hit speed. Cheetahs are like that.

Please people stop talking about Bo Jackson, he NEVER EVER ran a mythical time of 4.09, if you actually believe a 225 pound guy doing it, another urban legend. His best 100 meter is 10.44, .

[jlybr]

can we give this man atleast a million views?! Show some respect!

[godbez]

He is so technically sound there is no wasted motion that's why he's so fast

[KXKat]

Fact is, with training, sprinters could easily run it even faster. A 100m, or even 60m sprinter conditioned to hitting their top speed at around the 70m or 40m mark, respectively. Accelerating too quickly and hitting your top speed too soon, in a 100m, means you spend way more time decelerating. Sprinters don't train to hit their top speed within 36m, NFL guys do, meaning sprinters are still at a significant disadvantage and still smoke the combine guys... and that's not even mentioning the training the combine guys do to get into the perfect 3-point start. Sprinters aren't used to that.

cowboys will trade all their next 2 first round picks for him


just watch lMAO

[gregberzinski]

my car doesn't even accelerate this quickly

[ridingwiththerutledges]

Not surprised. If youve ever watchd any of his races, he smokes the fastest sprinters in the world out of the blocks and its not even close

[GetPackedUp]

And We Supposed To Believe Bo Ran That Time 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[hoytsigman]

That guy is fast faster than any NFL player he ran a 9.82 last I heard

[BrooklynMoor]

We USA need him to run the 100 meter because our best JUstin Gatlin Has gotten a bit long in the toothe for track at 35 but we shall see the season is long.

People these are two different sports. These guys train constantly to run fast in a straight line. These track stars never for once think they'd make great football players, but for some reason the world thinks John Ross and tyreek hill could beat Usain bolt in a sprint.

Its like saying tiger woods could beat lebron in a game of basketball.
