The 5 FASTEST Players of NFL Combine History - How Did Their Careers Turn Out? 

If you enjoyed this video, I'd really appreciate it if you liked and subscribed! I will be putting out a lot more quality content soon!

I can’t believe a lot of people don’t know who Chris Johnson is

For all those who didn't watch Darrell Green play he was always one of the fastest on the field. I still get goosebumps watching him run down Tony Dorsett and his punt return vs da Bears with cracked ribs! Unbelievable

Darrell Green’s speed is still so underrated

The love the steelers but they did Dri Archer diiiiiiiiirty!!

Seeing BO run, he looks every bit of that 4.13

As a Cincinnatian, I wish I could have commented on this 2 months ago when you posted it. NEVER have hopes in Cincinnati football. It will always let you down.

Nice breakdown on very important matters

Considering his size and how much CJ was used he was a pretty resilient RB while he was a Titan. He made the games worth watching during those dark days as a Titan fan.

Imagine the NFL without injuries...

Nice vid bro rlly enjoyed

How you run a 4.24 40 yard dash and get drafted in the 7th round 😳 that’s crazy

I enjoyed this although I've not seen a Pro game since the late 90's ~ thanks

In case anyone's wondering how John Ross's breakout 2020 season turned out: 3 GAMES, 7 TARGETS, 2 RECEPTIONS, 17 YARDS, 0 TOUCHDOWNS.

I had a 2.9 40 yard dash in 2001, but I was on a Yamaha !

Great video sir!

Pretty good video..subscribed

aye they made it to the next level. i have nothing but respect for them

I definitely know John Ross, He played for my Washington Huskies. I hope he does have great numbers from here out.

Well done.

Good vid

I remember watching Darryl green ! Just talking about him the other night! That cat was a pain in the ass! Go big blue!So I agree underrated n underappreciated!

5:57 that defensive player #21 really didn't want to give that play up but still ended giving that play up lol he really was trying his best lol.

You should've thrown Randy Moss in an honorable mention category. The dude only knew one play and that was to blow by everyone and get in the endzone. Which he did quite often and easily. Nobody could keep up with him. I remember one game he scored 3 tds. 1st td guarded by 1 guy, 2nd td covered by 2 guys, 3rd td covered by everyone and still blows by em.

3:39 Hasselbeck with the half-bald back in 2006 lol damn Matt

tennessee should of kept cj and vy together i think the chemistry they had together as a qb rb duet would of been special

I was going to say that your audio wasn't good, but you're ON IT. Keep at it!

Injuries I understand but to have speed sitting on a bench for an entire season? THAT is just plain stupid coaching.

I use to go crazy with him on Madden 15✊🏾

Dri archer was dope

I think Ryan Shazier should get an honorable mention for his 4.37 done with a pulled hamstring and being he is a linebacker.

So, folks point out that only CJ had a career. _You should consider posting a video of the five _*_slowest_*_ skill position players ever_ .

Dri artcher had like 97 speed in his bronze card in madden 15

I hope to do the same thing and have the success like you do

Love John Ross. He did played for our Washington state football team!

Dri Archer should sign up for USA rugby sevens... He will be a star like Carlin Isles and Berry Baker.

Yo let's give some props to Stanford Routt, (Raiders) who ran down Mathis preventing him from crossing the goalline. Look him up! He legit also.

🤣 I use to block for jerome Mathis we went to the same high school boy was fast great track star but attitude needed work overall glad he made it out our small town ✊

Good video!! Cj2k was a burner in the 40 but his 100m is average. The problem with the 40 is more of an accurate measure of acceleration and Burst. As Said by olympic track medalist. I will take Primetime, Bo, and Tyreek hill over everyone... Moss gets honorable Mention 4.25 at his pro day and 4.12/4.20 on various hand timers by scouts and coaches... They have Track speed where they maintain there speed or continue to accelerate throughout the entirety of 100yrds. Ross 100m is like 10.5... tyreek hill ran 10.1 in High school which is insane lol.

On a much smaller scale, my story is like Jerome Mathis'. I ran JV track and the guys told me that I had caught the attention of the steelers. Then they became jealous and kept telling the coach that I was getting in their way during races. Coach said I was too Slow to be on the men's team. I asked" If the guys are complaining that I am in their way, doesn't that mean that I am clearly ahead of them? " I put ended up that my only attachment to high school sports was doing laundry for the football team. I had a choice. Do the laundry or get beat up by girls. I have scars to this day. Deep mental scars

Joey Galloway gets no love here either..... Fastest 40 was 4.14. Had phenomenal seasons with Seahawks and Buccaneers never he was selected to the pro bowl😞

Did you REALLY include Tom Brady in your intro of “fastest” players...? The video loses some credibility for that.😂

Watched Ross at Washington, he was awesome.

Johnson was unbelievable. Bad agent. Had I been his agent, Johnson would be drawing a $900,000 salary today.

I believe there is speed , and game speed !! Game speed includes Jerry Rice , Darren Sproles , and William ( Refrigerator ) Perry !!!!!!! Lol ⚡️⚡️

Imo, sometimes the coaches in the league don't know how to maximize talent. Dri Archer should have never been used as a running back in the NFL. A slot receiver at best, along with kick and punt return duties.

Menendez was blessed with an awesome talent for renting cars to folks though. There is always a plan for all of us.

Hester ran a 4.4 on injured ankles. His game speed was clearly elite

I don't know how this was put into my recommendations. I was glad it was... That John Ross comment at the end didn't age well though lol

I love John Ross! Check him out @10:42 tapping toes while on top of the defender.... Unfortunately if he isn't traded he'll have a mediocre career.

The way you say Titans is hilarious. You really emphasize that second T.

40 yard dash times are one thing. But what y'all don't realize is Darrel had the equivalent of what is known in the air force as an "afterburner." When Darrel wanted to turn on the jets, he could turn on the jets. Them tootsies in his socks were basically 150 shots of Nitrous. Film proves this, as he almost magically just moves faster for short bursts.

I didn't know who the fastest player of NFL combine history was.

Tim Dwight was as fast as anyone. Many can run fast. But football speed is very different from just able to run fast

Taylor Mays (USC) ran a 4.24 at the NFL combine. Deion Sanders called it. Then all of a sudden, the NFL magically added .2 to his time. Even Deion said there was something suspect about the NFL changing his time. That was the ONLY time they had an issue with the clock during the entire combine. ha ha ha

3:26 that Raider ran dude down quick. How is he not on this list?

With Joe Burrow as his future QB ( possibly) John Ross could become a superstar 😮😏

The fastest guys i hv seen play this game Bo Jackson Deion Sanders Darrell Green Randy Moss Joey Galloway Rocket Ishmael Michael Vick Dante Hall (look him up) THE HUMAN JOY. STICK and that was really his nick name. Willie Gault (who ran in the Olympics) Im sure im missing someone and no i haven't forgotten Chris Johnson....or John Ross

Just FYI for future reference... it's not MEN-un-dez... it's Meh-NEN-dez. The injury and off-field events of his life were absolutely tragic and unfortunate. Odds are, he would have been the Falcons' primary returner and probably a 5th rotation WR used mostly in short-time, long yardage drive situations. That alone could have given him a nice career for several years (as long as he kept his speed), despite not being a good WR by any means. While he may have played well against a handful of weak division 2 defenses in 1996-1997 at Eastern Kentucky, he was not impressive at all against the likes of Troy, Western Kentucky, Appalachian State, Southeast Missouri, or the Div 2 playoff game against Western Kentucky in 1997 (half the games on the schedule). He was outright terrible against Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Murray State... the only worthwhile defenses he played his senior year. He basically had 750 receiving yards and 8 TDs against 3 teams in 1998 (Eastern Illinois, Western Kentucky, and UT-Martin), while barely showing up for the other 8 games (less than 300 yards receiving and only 3 TDs). This and the fact that he was an extremely small WR even back then (5'9, 180) are why he wasn't taken until the 7th round. Also, Menendez NEVER held the record for most receiving yards in a game for Eastern Kentucky. His big game against Eastern Illinois was the second most in school history. The actual record is 316 by Aaron Marsh against Northwood in 1967... 31 years earlier.

The cheese with dri archer in madden was unmatched

7:47 - Rondel Me-nen-dez..ran a 4:19.

Tbh dri was underrated by his own team. Which its sad that they didn't use him because he probably couldve been better than bell specially since how they just lost bell last year or the year before

I didn't see Bob Hayes #22 Dallas Cowboys WR on the list. He was the fastest man on Earth for a time. 🏈 👍

John Ross on the Giants now.. so we'll see

Things that destroy people's career: Pride, EGO, Over-Confidence.

Ironic how Jerome Mathis and Dri Archer both wore 13

The story goes that Deion Sanders didn't warm up or stretch. He showed up a the combine in a limousine, told the driver he would be right back, went is and did one 40 yard sprint, and kept going right back to the limousine without stopping. If that's really how it went down he might have easily clocked a better time had he prepared. Players usually don't run faster than they have to, but when he needed to pull away it was undeniable; Deion was in a league of his own.

What I learned is 1. Being the fastest means you can still be a mediocre player. 2. Track shoes and starting blocks make a huge difference in time and they're not allowed to be used in NFL combines

Denny Green stated about Randy Moss "that's what a 4.15 looks like"... Look it up. NOBODY was as fast as Moss in pads!

Listen I personally never thought the 40 yard dash was the best barometer of how truly fast a player is if a field is 100 yards shouldn't the barometer be 100 yards but atleast 60 yards the fastest players to me was 1 bob hayes 2 Darrell green,3 bo jackson,4 herschel walker,Dion Sanders also other guys that were fast that were very fast but not well known frank lewis Steelers james Jett raiders chis Sanders Oilers,cliff branch raiders,curtis dickey colts

One of the fastest players I’ve ever seen was Noel Devine. Ridiculously fast.

I wish just one of you guys would mention the defender that caught your hero from behind

Either Bo or Prime... D.Sanders never even warmed up,,, & he kept his sweatsuit on!!!

There was a rumour Joey Galloway once ran a 3.9 in the 40. But, guess it was a rumour or was unofficial. Who knows.

CJ2K had a great career, all things considered. In my opinion, he is a worthy Canton nominee.

There is a thing called "fast and foolish" in the game of cricket. Guy named patrick patterson had so much pace but no controll. He eventually failed

The only time I can finish in 4.24 is when I'm yanking it to Jennifer Lawrence.

What did Darrell Green Deion Sanders and Randy Moss run at the combine somebody?

Remember Renaldo "skeets" Nehemiah I don't remember his time in the 40 but after the first good lick he was done I wanna say it was on Monday night football he was an olympian.

Jerome Mathis became a correctional officer shortly after his Football career was over😢

I wonder what Rocket Ismail, Qadry Ismail and Joey Galloway were like in the 40 ?

The fastest I've ever seen play since I been watching the NFL, was Darrel Green of the Redskins. I am Cowboys fan and it was never fun to see him chase down our WR's. That man was fast.

Joey Galloway is an honorable mention so is probably the fastest player in NFL history Bob Hayes. Joey Galloway, Darrell Green, Bob Hayes & Chris Johnson all have one thing in common.. They are world class sprinters!!

What about marquise Goodwin didn’t he run a 4.27

tyreek ran a 4.24 too

There was a WR from Abilene Christian that had one of the fastest times in the combineds around 2015 . I think he was signef by the Saints.

At 5:05, watch Chris Johnson kinda wave at the kicker when he went by him. He stuck his arm out to stiff arm him , but he ended up being too far away. Chris Johnson is the second best running back ever. Dickerson is #1.

Archer got a bad beat, the guy had skills, coaches know nothing, I mean look at Derrick Henrys first couple of seasons, my fantasy teams suffered and I could not believe they limited his carries considering his otherworldly talent.Dri Archer if used properly would've been a great Nyheim Hines change of pace type back, only faster.Great players lost their careers because of bad coaches and front office decisions.The Rams recently did this to John Kelly, a steal in the 6th round a couple years ago.

Bob Hayes would beat the breaks off all those guys.

Dri Archer was a different type of animal

In Madden franchise mode i always take the fastest runner in the draft and turn them into a fantastic kick returner. They preach speed but 100 guys got drafted before them who were slower. Guess 4.4 speed with skill is better than a 4.2 guy w less talent...

Sounds like the legend of Bo Jackson has him under 4 seconds at one time in the 40.

Everyone of these cats are fast. Some slow down when the pads go on. Tyreek Hill honestly looks faster In pads. I've never seen such speed on the football field and I've been a nfl fan for going on 40 years. That dude is without a doubt the scariest guy in the league with the ball in his hands.

Where are you from? I’m curious about your accent.

I ran a 3.94 40-yard dash, just not at the combine.

Can I pls get a heart I never did before

How can u leave Bo Jackson out of this vid...he ran the fastest 40yd ever!

Christian Okoye should get mentioned just for size and with that speed. Running back 260lb and ran a 4.45.

There were only 5 players who rushed for 2000 yards prior to CJ2K. You can check that out
