Scout said,”Yeah we timed a guy like that before.” Nehemiah then said “but I did it over hurdles!” Would have wanted see him vs Darrell Green in NFL fastest man showdown.How did some of today’s star wideouts look in the 40-yard dash? he claimed to have run a 4.24 in a track session. During workouts he ran a reported 4.29 in 1983 and was “just cruising ” to quote him. 20 faster!!! That means UF RB Jeff Demps,who ran 10.01 in the Olympic trials as a HS senior, would be about 10 meters behind Bolt!!
