Top 10 All-Time Fastest Players in the NFL

[YosemiteSam]

I searched this forum and didn't find this. I saw it last Friday I believe.

Two Cowboys make the list, #1 is a Cowboy and I think it's obvious who it is.

Correction, three Cowboys made the list.

Where was Herschel? He was a world class sprinter also.

There were? I haven't watched it since Friday and I believe I was watching it during the Cowboys game. I remember Deion and Bullet Bob, who was the other?

Joey Galloway was right before Deion.

I like those vids.

Thats right, I remember now.

Darrell Green was dumb fast even later in his career.

How'd Alexander Wright get left off the list? He ran an admittedly unofficial but nevertheless flabbergasting 4.09 40 in our 1991 training camp.

The list was for football players. Wright doesn't qualify.

I guess that's why Renaldo Nehemiah isn't on the list either.

i think Tony Dorsett shouldve cracked the top ten. Dorsett was only once caught from behind.

They should make a top 10 fastest offensive lineman of all time. Larry Allen would have to be on that list at 4.6 40. (Thats what I ran in high school!) I remember him running down that linebacker from behind after an interception.

Bo Jackson does not belong on that last. There's no way he was faster than Deion. His speed was amazing relative to his size, but it's reached Paul Bunyan levels of hyperbole.

Bo was unreal fast actually.

Bo Jackson - 4.12 (1986 NFL Combine)


He was overrated as far as actual game performance and stats but not his 40 time. Deion ran a 4.17.

Those are official NFL recognized times not club times or college timings.

FWIW Bolt's first 40 was clocked in 3.6 apparently.

There is something wrong with that.
