Worked for Bob Hayes and Jim Thorpe...doubt it would work for him though.

Dwain Chambers (British sprinter) tried out for NFL Europe camps in Tampa a few years ago, impressed scouts and signed a contract with Hamburg only for the league to shut down He went back to athletics after that.

Only world-class sprinters with some measureable success in NFL were Willie Gault and Renaldo Neiameiah.

not only that - what happens when he goes over the middle and a safety clocks him? there's more to being a receiver than just running and catching the ball. the raiders always sign these fast guys who can't play WR.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

There is this Bob Hayes who won a 100M GM who was just inducted into the Pro Football HOF too, better than Gault or Skeets.

found this info on another site. The OP didn't name the source. I imagine the "unofficial" times are from the pro-days.

"The NFL's fastest official 40 yard dash time was 4.25 seconds by cornerback Fabian Washington. Previous to electronic timing, Deion Sanders held the official record at 4.29 seconds. Here are some unofficial claims to players who have broken the 4.2 second mark. "

1. Ted Ginn Jr. (4.06)
2. Alexander Wright (4.09)
3. Michael Bennett (4.13)
4. Bo Jackson (4.14)
5. DeAngelo Hall (4.15)
6. Darrell Green (4.15)
7. Lavernaues Coles (4.16)
8. Deion Sanders (4.17)
9 Joey Galloway (4.18)
10. Ahman Green (4.19)
11. Laveranues Coles (4.2)
12. Don Beebe (4.21)
13. Donte Stallworth (4.22)
14. Ryan Dotson (4.24)
15. Michael Vick (4.25)
16. Randy Moss (4.25)
17. Willie Parker (4.23)

Major oversight on my part. Good catch!

On a seperate note, Chris Johnson had the fastest 40-time at the 2008 combine (4.24)
