He was 225, but let's not forget that his career ended because he pulled his own leg out of its socket. He was strong enough to carry that weight. He was probably the most freakish athlete any of us have ever seen. He's my generations Jim Thorpe. Yeah and he didn’t even lift weights.

DABEARSLCF04 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Ehhhhh, he was pretty fast I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 He’s among the best athletes in sports history. I would wager that he’d run in the 4.3 range. He wasn’t as fast as CJ2K, but at his size he was a freak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thandInches Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 He was so fast and strong, it was the actual reason he got injured, wouldn’t have happened to anyone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also carrying a football will slightly decrease your speed compared to someone without the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucksavage1 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 He was rumored to run a 4.13 at the combine. Definitely faster than 4.3. Probably a 4.19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 4.30 in reality Isn’t he the guy from Neverland Ranch? If so, bottom 5 of all-time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Snack Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 My best friends uncle was a scout 8n the league for 39 years. You can take his story how ever you want. He started with the giants in 80 and was there thd day Bo ran a 40 and kept running out the doors to go to baseball practice. He swears his hand time was 4.12. He also said in his almost 4 decades it's the only person he timed sub 4.2. I'm just relaying his story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
