Denard Robinson: "I could beat Bolt in the 40"

[bangedher_wholesquad]

why don't he just add 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, and 30-40 and you get 40 m which is under 4 seconds.

Fortunantly Ive had the fortune of training with elite runners. People dont understand the difference of the 2. If Bolt ran the 40 not in the blocks he would only be in the 4.3's. I remember we had Justin Gatlin run a 40...he only ran like a 4.35...thats in his prime(dopping years). We had a corner and a Wr running faster times...albeit the corner ran a 4.29. My dude Dwayne Chambers who ran sub 10 and holds the European 60m record could only pull out a 4.38. Ive seen it with my own eyes brehs, running a 40 is different than a 100. Its only 36.5 meters, the great 100 meter runners speed really kicks in between 30-50 meters

of course its different, football players have to be at full speed quick as possible, those track guys dont get started until they pass the 40 or 50

I would've made it to the NFL if I committed myself.

ALL emotions

 

[Rell]

I'm a Michigan fan but even I couldn't help but laugh at the "and pass the baton to the wrong country" thing.

 

[andre patton]

the argument I am making is not that Robinson will beat him, I said he could beat him. Its not impossible.

And its not about being a fast starter, its about when do you reach top speed.

We can concoct a scenario where I think Denard would win. 40 yards...in cleats and pads? I'm probably taking Denard.

Any other scenario where advantages are given to Bolt he should have no problem taking this race.

A lot of these football nikkas were track nikkas in high school...and they werent among the fastest people on earth at that age range so I dont know why people think they could beat the fastest man on earth now.

Why are people bringing up Bolts reaction time? Its irrelevant.

Remember Justin Gatlin only ran the 40 4.4 when he tried out for nba teams

Bolt starts are slow he prob would be about 4.4 also

Yup

Jeff Demps has ran a 4.26 40 yard dash but has never run 100m under 10 secods

Bolt was @ 23mph before 40 meters.

exactly, its a completely different race.

olympic sprints is all about maintaining your top speed for a long time

40 yard dash is about reaching your top speed quick.

We can concoct a scenario where I think Denard would win. 40 yards...in cleats and pads? I'm probably taking Denard.

all I keep telling you all is that the races are completely different

 

[King Jove]

On March 13, 2008 Gatlin performed at the Titans' NFL pro day. His numbers were as follows: 4.45 and 4.42 in the 40-yard dash. Had a 40 ½-inch vertical jump, 11-foot (3.35 m) standing long jump, 4.4 short shuttle, 7.36 cone drill and 12 reps in the bench press. The former Olympic sprinter did not get signed by any NFL teams.

 

[Loose]

,

yup i remember that

 

[BonafideDefacto]

This nikka ran a 4.4 shuttle

thts what you call a lack of directional athleticism. Any 3* skill position player coming out of high school is atleast, at worst in the 4.2 range. I was running a 4.4 shuttle in the 10th grade.

 

[AkaDemiK]

yup, Bolt really is a god if nikkas is trying to figure a way to see him lose a race.
