Usain Bolt ties NFL combine record in 40-yard dash

In Atlanta this weekend for promotional purposes with Puma, eight-time Olympic Gold medalist Usain Bolt just turned heads at Mercedes-Benz Stadium — in sweats and sneakers no less.

Bolt ran an electronic-timed 4.22 in the 40-yard dash, tying the all-time fastest mark set at the NFL Combine by former Washington speedster John Ross. Ross broke Chris Johnson's record two years ago in Indianapolis on his first run and didn't try a second attempt.

One of the world's fastest men, Bolt is the only athlete in history to win Olympic 100m and 200m titles at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012 and 2016).

The Jamaican retired sprinter, 32, doesn't look like he has lost any of his world-class jets. He recently declared that his "sports life is over" and is looking to gain appeal in the business world, much like former USA gold medalist Michael Johnson.

He isn't signing with any NFL team, sorry!

1. he's known for a slow start, so this is pretty great for only 40 yards

You know what nba player was super fast? Gilbert arenas.

2. Beat Me To It

His strength was a higher top speed and an ability to sustain it longer.
Because of his length, the start was a weak spot and yet 4.22 at 32? That's impressive!

3. I used to draft players from NCAA Football 14 to Madden 25

I came across rosters that looked real but after I uploaded them there were a lot of 99 overall players one of them was Usain Bolt for Oregon. When I drafted him it was the 4th round. He had 99 speed. It was fun for awhile but got tired of the Super human players like a 6'8" safety just found more realistic rosters and started over until I got a new generation console. The rosters which you could customize by adding real names used the players likeness and attributes were close enough they had to stop making the college football video game.

4. Interesting...

for a non-gamer like me. I'm definitely hooked on fantasy but have never been the type to spend time playing video games. I can see the appeal for others but it has just never been my thing.

5. I used to love importing rosters from the college game to the Pro game

I would play season after season I really enjoyed it until they stopped making the college game. Now I just play open world games. (open world games typically come with a large map you can fully explore like Greece in Assassin's Creed and usually a less linear storyline)

The sports games these days are difficult for me to get into because you have to find the perfect difficulty slider set they don't make a playable difficult modes either it is too easy or too hard is my problem with slider sets.

Check out all the different slider sets there are to show how much of a mess it is.
