there was a time not that long ago the 250lbs guys would be offensive lineman

a guy with 4.5 speed was a burner

50 years from now will there be

400lb lineman as a standard

guys running 4.1

or 265lb linebackers running 4.3's ?

If any of those were to happen, I would say this is the most likely.

If you're at a skill position, and you run a 4.5 comming out of college, there is almost no chance that you would be drafted in the first day.

Doesn't Vick already run a 4.0? I think Deion did too in his prime.

It was more of a 3.78.

On a serious note, Vick ran something like a 4.5 at the scouting combine. Deion probably ran a sub 4.3-4.4.

Former Tennessee Vols WR and current Saints Donte Stallworth ran an amazing 4.23 a the scouting combine coming out of college. This was authentic.

Another person who was tagged of 4.2 speed is RB Michael Bennet of the Vikings. Dennis Green really claims this guy runs a 4.2. He also claims Randy Moss runs a 4.2.

Who knows?

Bo Jackson was supposedly clocked in the 4.1 range.

My lovable Lions just drafted Boss Bailey, Washington CB Champ's li'l brother, and he's an LB that's been clocked in the 4.3s.....he's about 30 shy of 265 though.

Bennett won multiple Big 10 sprint championships at UW. He qualfied for the Olympic trials, but decided to focus on football instead.

I'm pretty sure that Stallworth ran his 4.18-4.23 at an individual workout instead of the scouting combine. Deion reportedly ran a 4.1-4.-2 while wearing shoulder pads. And as for Bennett, the guy is an olympic class sprinter, and with watching him play I'd be inclinded to believe he has run that fast. As for Moss, he's a physical freak who can flat out fly and his coaches said he ran 4.1 level 40 when he arrived at marsharl, which means around a 4.2-4.3 most likely.
