Chris Johnson could not outrun usain bolt, he is ignorant to think that he can outrun the fastest man in the world. He is so proud of his 4.24 40 yard dash time that he posted at the nfl combine. However , what most people don’t know is the nfl combine 40s are only half electronic! So you might as well throw the times out the window. It’s bs . They start the times w a handheld watch and then they run through a laser . Mike mayock even admitted it on the nfl network. So all those 40s are not even legit .

You know, Bolt’s specialty isn’t a short-distance sprint. It’s longer-distances. That’s his specialty.
Chris Johnson can challenge him in the 50, but why not challenge him in the 100, or something that Bolt actually runs?
I can challenge Phil Loadholt to a 50 but what does that tell us? He’d probably lose to me, but he’d pancake my ass if i tried to rush his QB.
Different skillsets, so stupid comparison to draw, the Johnson to Bolt claims that is.

It would be great to see one of these dickheads hurt themselves in a street race… that would be excellent.

Fine by us Dolphin Fans, either way we aren’t getting any production from Ginn. At least we’d have someone replace him who can catch the damn ball.

Thats funny something was on one of the sports channels the other day and they were talking about Johnson then they were talking about how fast Desean Jackson is and I was thinking I wanna see whos faster straight up. Not in the combine that means nothing I wanna see them next to each and see whos faster.
I dunno I think Desean can get him.

Bolt would win:
According to IAAF Analysis Split Times, Usain Bolt ran his FIRST 40m in 4.65 seconds. Subtracting his reaction time which was .165 seconds, he ran the 40m in 4.485 seconds. 40 yards is a totally different measurement than 40 meters. 40 yards is equal to approximately 36.576m
By simple ratio:
(40m/4.485)=(36.576m/X)
X=( 36.576 / (40/4.485) )
Usain Bolt’s 40 yard dash would be:
A blazing 4.100 seconds!!!!!
and considering the human error in hand-timed timing used in most combine settings, this time could easily be read as 3.85 seconds at the NFL Combine!!!!

Johnson went on to say that he could defend a take down from GSP.

Ted Ginn probably would have ran out of bounds, anyway.

Funny thing is I was at this Party. It was in Miami on the rooftop of a hotel, i forget the name. It was Jeezy’s (rapper) pool party. Ginn was talking to anyone who would listen about how fast he was..lol ..What a party tho..People there included Ocho Cinco, Suggs, Johnson, Ginn Jr, VY, Spikes (fla), Porter and etc. Who cares who wins the race, when is the next party dammit..lmao!!!!!

@texasPHINSfan
It is a Seinfeld reference where Jerry beats the fastest kid in his class in a foot race in grade school. The rival he beat said he jumped the gun and challenges him to a rematch but Jerry says, “I choose not to run!” When they are grown-ups they race again and a car backfires giving Jerry a head start again and he wins again.

I still see Frank Burns on here all the time, but I am guessing you were just trying to take a cheap shot at the Steelers… because you’re an a-hole.

Ginn wouldn’t run the full course without running for the safety of the sideline.

As someone who ran short distance track at the D-1 level, Chris Johnson would probably win the 50. There have been tons of studies to determine 40 speed verses track speed and the vast majority conclude with the NFL player being faster the shorter the race. The flipping point is about the 55-65 meter range.

If Chris Johnson was actually faster than Bolt, then Chris Johnson would be competing for the USA on the Olympic level.
If he’s not, he should, because Bolt beat the United States last time around.

Put Bolt and CJ in full football pads and I’d like to see them in the 50.

Chris Johnson HANDS DOWN OVER GINN. Bolt may have long strides and be a great finisher but he always lets up in the end. I guess so he can beat that record during his next race. DJAC or the rookie on the Bears would give CJ a better race then Ginn. Is it safe to say that Ginn is a bust yet? Happens to most Ohio State players. Being a bust that is. Anyone who picked or picks Ginn is a Ohio State loser or Dolphins loser.

“Ginn didn’t work out at the combine because he had a mid-foot sprain. Not sure where those numbers came from. He reportedly ran the 40 in 4.38-4.45 seconds at a private workout a few months later — with a sore foot. He was still a month or more shy of full recovery at that point.”
Didn’t know that, but point taken. I just got the numbers off ESPN & SI websites when I did a search. I did get chris johnson’s numbers off the combine info and didn’t see Ginn’s there so I just did another search, didn’t update where I got it from. :Beer:
What is with all the “Ginn chose not to” comments? Did something happen in the news that I missed?
But yes, I laughed with the poster that said “no surprise that Ginn didn’t show up, he hasn’t shown up all year” – haha, that was great!

Chris Johnson is a bad dude as far as the 40 goes, with or without pads, but he needs to leave that man Bolt alone. Usain Bolt is far and away the fastest man in the world PERIOD

Ginn wanted to race but he dropped his beer and had to clean up broken glass while CJ was waiting.

None of these guys ran faster than that “Frank Burns” blowhole did from this site when his crap-ass stillers went into the tank. New world record!

Ginn should challenge him to an iq test.
I have no idea how intelligent Ginn is but I’m pretty confident he’d win.
