(or ‘36.58 meters’)
.
.
(best time:)
(auburn’s ‘bo jackson’ claims to have run a ’40-yard dash’ with a time of ‘4.13 seconds’)
(a time of ‘4.18’ run by ‘jackson’ within the same week added some support to the legitimacy of the times)
(but this was before ‘electronic timing measurements’ were implemented)
.
(texas tech’s ‘jakeem grant’ was hand-timed by a ‘new orleans saints’ scout as running a ‘4.10’ in ‘2016’, potentially beating jackson’s record)
.
(‘deion sanders’ ran a 4.27-second 40-yard dash in ‘1989’)
.
(‘electronic timing’ was fully implemented at the ‘1999 NFL combine’)
(wide receiver ‘rondel melendez’ ran a ‘4.24’ 40-yard dash at the ‘1999 NFL combine’)
(he was the #247 draft by the ‘atlanta falcons’)
(…but he seems to have been an NFL ‘bust’)
.
(running back ‘chris johnson’ ran a ‘4.24’ 40-yard dash at the ‘2008 NFL combine’)
(he was the #24 draft by the ‘tennessee titans’)
.
(in 2013, ‘carlin isles’ recorded a time of ‘4.22’ at a ‘detroit lions’ facility during a workout)
.
(in 2017, olympic sprinter ‘christian coleman’ ran a time of ‘4.12 seconds’ (on ‘turf’) in response to claims that ‘NFL players’ are as fast as ‘usain bolt’)
.
(‘john ross’)
(born ’27 november 1994′)
(wide receiver)
(cincinnati bengals)
(ran a ‘4.22 second’ 40-yard dash @ ‘2017 NFL combine’)
(‘combine record’ as of ‘6 september 2018’)
.
(my best time:)
(~5 seconds)
(‘high school senior’)
(‘age 17’)
(‘watchung hills warriors’ football)
(@ the ‘WH track’)
(‘august 2001’)
(this was a rather average time)
(though i never trusted the coaches who were controlling the stopwatches)
(who was fastest then?)
(cua?)
.
(the 40-yard dash is an important ‘benchmark’ for ‘football players’)
(it is measured at the beginning of every season)
(the basis for the ’40-yard dash’ is the length of an average ‘punt’)
(since the average ‘hangtime’ for a ‘punt’ is ‘4.5 seconds’, a player with a ‘4.5’ time can tackle a ‘punt returner’ (or force a ‘fair catch’))
(this seems to indicate that the ‘proportions’ of ‘american football’ are competitively ‘spot-on’)
(‘electronc timing measuring methods’ can measure when a runner ‘starts’ and ‘finishes’)
(since the runner’s reaction to a ‘starting gun’ is ~0.24 seconds)
(the ’40-yard dash’ is an important component of the ‘NFL scouting combine’)
(it is primarily run to evaluate the ‘speed’ and ‘acceleration’ of ‘american football players’ by ‘scouts’, particularly for the ‘NFL draft’ but also for ‘collegiate recruiting’)
(a player’s recorded time can have a heavy impact on his prospects in ‘college’ or ‘professional’ football)
(how much does a runner’s time with each attempt?)
(age-old “‘nature’ or ‘nurture'” debate)
(this was traditionally only true for the “skill” positions such as ‘running back’, ‘wide receiver’, and ‘defensive back’, although now a fast ’40-yard dash time’ is considered important for almost every ‘position’)
(the ’40-yard dash’ is not an ‘official race’ in ‘track + field athletics’ and is not an ‘IAAF-recognized event’)
(the origin of timing football players for ’40 yards’ comes from the “average distance of a ‘punt’ and the time it takes to reach that distance)
(‘punts’ average around ’40 yards’ in distance from the ‘line of scrimmage’, and the ‘hangtime’ (or ‘time of flight’) averages approximately ‘4.5 seconds’)
(therefore, if a ‘coach’ knows that a player runs ’40 yards’ in ‘4.5 seconds’, he will be able to leave the ‘line of scrimmage’ when a ‘punt’ is kicked, and reach the point where the ball comes down just as it ‘arrives’)
