https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/did-bo-jackson-really-run-4-12-40-yard-dash-revisiting-nfl-great-s-historic-feat
Jackson remembered that it was an electronically-timed 4.13 during what would or could be seen as a local combine or expanded pro day that Auburn hosted. Per the legendary NFL star, many prospects from several colleges were in attendance.
He said that it happened in the indoor bubble at Auburn. There was electronic tape at the starting line that started the clock, and there was a laser at the end line of the 40-yard dash.

nope
just wait til smatt sees this 10 paragraphs :D :D :D

Hard to believe that some 35 years ago we had Jose Canseco and Bo Jackson with a combination of both speed and strength never before seen..... Even Reggie Jackson couldn't believe Jose's power! day in the day out he'd be front row watching Jose putting balls out of the park show on batting practice. Jose even ran faster than Henderson at that time ...... fast forward 35 years and I highly doubt Reggie Jackson can say a good thing about Canseco. lol
Same could be said about BO JAckson in same season played at MLB and NF all star games ,
Sad it didn't last long ...they didn't have the coaching athletes have now.... no where near ......
We now have Ohtany ....but its been 35 years since .
WooooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH

Bo was a complete freak of nature. His injury could only happen to someone with his FREAKISH strength.
It’s really a shame that he got injured. Had he not I believe he would have many records in both the NFL and MLB. The dude is a pretty damn good archer now.

NO

NO
Based on the data Bo’s 4.12 IS faster than Usanes 4.18.

John Ross was a mediocre receiver in the NFL.
He was drafted one spot ahead of Patrick Mahomes, so if you think about it he’s probably the best receiver of all time.

Don Ross was a horrible wrestler.

I worked with John in 2017 when he broke that record and was at that combine. it was the last one I went too (I've been to 6). 4.21 is just flat out fast and he beat John by 1/100 of a sec (4.22). People for get that John went in with a strained hamstring and still ran the 4.22 but paid for it at the end of his run by injuring even more. I contend that if John hammy was healthy he would have ran at least a 4.18-19...4.20 at worst

Nah.
It would be akin to the strongest IFBB bodybuilder getting the #2 heaviest bench press in the world.
No way can a person do that who isn't specialized in that specific area of athletic performance. The central nervous system can't handle being that good at that many things. It's all a trade-off.
Even within strength, it's a trade-off. The strongest powerlifters are never as strong at bench press as bench press specialists, for example.
Granted, what Bo Jackson did was amazing. But the FASTEST 40-yard dash time ever is 4.11s by Christian Coleman. And he is a 60m sprint specialist / world record holder.
And Usain Bolt did the 40 in 4.22s.
The only person I could see getting 4.12s other than Christian Coleman would be Getbig's own JustPlaneJane.

Bo Jackson ran track in college.

Something I think folks are often unaware of is that the 40-yard times like the football players do in combines and "Pro Days" exclude reaction time, while the times for track races like 100 meters include it. This is a big difference in a 40 since it's at least 0.10 seconds. Anything under that is a "false start" in track sprints.
Splits for track races are always in intervals of meters so it's hard to be sure, but if you assume constant speed over the 10-meter intervals, Bolt ran the first 40 yards of his 100-meter world record (9.58 seconds) in 4.20 seconds, excluding reaction time. Including reaction time, he ran it in 4.34 seconds.
Bolt wasn't particularly fast out of the blocks (by the standards of world-class sprinters) with how big he was, he won because his top speed and ability to hold that speed were so far beyond everyone else (although he was a remarkably good starter for his size [nh]). I would bet the smaller guys have gone sub-4.20 for the first 40 yards.
I would be surprised if a non-sprinter who reportedly weighed 230 lbs ran a legit 4.12 (Bolt I think was 210 or so), but Bo was a freak, who knows.

Never ran one, not sure. I ran 11.9x in the 100 meters a few times "back in high school".

Bo Jackson was the most overrated athlete ever to be talked about. His whole career was should have, could have, would have, but didn’t. He’s neither a hall of fame in either sport
He was all marketing and hype the people ate it all up. He never lived up to anything in neither sports, it’s all talk about what could have been.

He’s a collegiate Hall of Famer who ran the fastest unofficially non documented 40 yard dash.
Also Bo once called a time out in the batters box, that wasn’t recognized, and promptly hit a home run. That’s fact. Not hype. And it looks like there was 45 people who witnessed this live!

his son Steve Ross though….

Over 30 home runs and over 1,000 yards in a season has only been done by one person.
That is not hype..
He didn’t have a long career, but he played more than some think.

He never rushed for 1000 yards, was injured every season and couldn’t play a full season

Ya true, only 950 that year.

Sometimes I wonder about the accuracy of the 40 with football players. Really if they really that fast why wouldn't they run the 60 meters in the indoor world championship and show up the sprinters? The truth is they would be last place.
-
Bo Jackson never ran it that fast. He’s a modern day tall tale. Dude was a freakish athlete for sure and has some pretty impressive highlights but he is only talked about like this because he “never reached his full potential”. Allegedly.
-
Ya, true only 950 that year.
He had 69 yards receiving that year so he had 1k total yards.
-
bo at that time was probably the second most promoted athlete behind michael jordan, but at that time mike tyson and jordan where the highest paid athletes in the world and it was not even close, people forget in that era big time boxers like tyson and leonard dwarfed everyone in earnings besides jordan

Reaction time is a big fraction of time in 60m race.
And it is different.
With 40yds it is just acceleration, in 60m there is a bit of a roll included. This will slow you down if not practiced.At least if you’re not specified spinter, they may accelate everywhere between 50m to 70m.
Also in the US, Football is bigger than track so that is where most talented athletes gravitate to.
But then again. Kevin Levrone ran 4.2s 😊

How dare you!! Ok - I’ll calm down now.. just gonna put some happy little clouds right there - and right over there just a cozy little tree… 😁😂

You don’t know what the fck you are talking about. Bo was a specialist in EVERY area of sport. Dude came back from the most horrific injury and in his FIRST plate appearance after a 2 year layoff in the mlb - jacked one out the park.
Bo was just special - if you didn’t get a chance to see him in person you can’t understand. I’m 52 Matt and you talk a lot about speed. I’ll gladly run you - I need a month or back at track work. I can run like I did in college, but I was sprinting strong 5-6 years ago. I’m still pretty athletic, some dumbass kids were talking about muscle “binding” up your athleticism the other day at the gym. So I did a toe touch and pike in the squat room.
No I was t a fckn cheerleader. I learned ii could do it way back in high school when I dated a cheerleader who was being funny with her team running their mouth after football practice.
You may beat me - I have no clue how fast you are, but we can get in a batting cage and shoot free throws too if you wanna chsllenge the ole man! 😁

Lots of speed challenges being thrown down amongst getbiggers these days

Pics of the cheerleader?
Female only.

No, just one mentally retarded loser up in Canada looking for attention.
To clarify some of Matt Canning’s bullshit claims, I have met Jane and her family. I have been to her homes. I have worked out with her and the others in Chicago and Phoenix. I have also did running workouts with her and others.
Not one Getbigger is a match for her in a sprint race. I tried. None of us are even close to her at full sprint. I’ve run a fair few 40’s when I was younger and Jane could have held her own against any female in the world, from any era, at any sprint distance, and none of us old has beens are remotely close to that.
The $2 sprint challenge is more retarded than the bench challenge to Hankins when he was coming off rupture surgery.

It's not that they are that fast, it's more that they can run at a good clip forever. and they can do this while eating minimum food.

Did you ever watch him in person? I did many many times and he was no tall tale I assure you. He was a fckn dude.

for sure

Dude just stop, you’ve never met JPJ and you’re not fast.

John Ross was a mediocre receiver in the NFL.
He was a bust. Hurt most of the time and dropped a lot of passes. Very few highlights in his career.

He was a very fast straight ahead runner but lacked route running and catching skills.
There have been a number of guys like that in the NFL over the years.

Let's not be too hasty here, don't forget that Les played football at Nebraska and is the fastest of male getbiggers:
Jane is in London today, I’m guessing it’s close to night time there now. The video was sent to 3 getbiggers for confirmation, it was not posted here. Jane doesn’t post photos, Princess L told her not to.
She’s not kidding, me and a couple others here have done sprint training with her. The poster Les Grossman is the fastest of the men (played football at Nebraska) and she can turn sideways mid sprint and look back and wait for him to try to catch up.
A legit 4.7 is pretty fast, 4.3 is just a whole other level.

Yeah, usually the fastest WR in the NFL sucks. Teams fall in love with combine numbers. Anyone who watched his college games knew what to expect but coaches think they can change guys if they have the raw talent. It rarely works out.
