Vikings won’t draft either Austin. They just drafted Wright last year, who is a slot receiver who’s shown some promising play. They’ll draft DL, WR, or LB with their first round pick in my opinion.

Coming from a Redskins Fan. DARRELL GREEN ran a 4.09 and 4.125 although both are unofficial and poorly documented . In Darrell Green’s defense he’s the only person ever to go undefeated in the NFL’s fastest man competition, he won it 4 times. The competition though took place only at the pro bowl and between players that had made it to the pro bowl so not all of the fastest players in the NFL were represented. HTTR

I think they’d better check the calibration of these stopwatches.

Vikings could sure use some fire power to help Ponder out. Gotta keep Percy and hope to snatch up one of these guys with AP to boot. Let’s Play!!!

You can’t teach speed… Or hands, so I’d take Tavon. He’s more polished and less risk to be a one trick pony…. Cough Desean Jackson…. Cough T-Rex hands Troy Williamson.

What’s the chances of the Vikings going after Austin as a Percy replacement? (or compliment if we can somehow keep him?)

Jackleon they will not both get Adidas contracts it comes down to who has the faster 4.25 time if that makes sense they do a side by side video view to see who was a hair faster

Raiders now have their board set both these guys will likely go there

speed is great but it is not the only thing if you look at the best wr’s to ever play the game few were the fastest. you need to be able to catch and more importantly make plays.again speed is great but speed alone is not enough to make it in the nfl

“if Al Davis was still alive the Raiders would trade their entire draft for these two guys… with no QB top throw it to them Haha” just another Raider hater…The Raiders drafted Juron Criner in the 5th round last year, he ran
a 4.8 Forty….Looks like they draft talent too…

I wonder how far down the list of fastest 40 times you have to go to find someone who was/is a decent player in the league.

Fastest 40 since 2000 was Trindon Holliday.

4.21

Still can’t believe the Texans waived this guy. He had 4 return TD’s for Denver.

Fastest time also using an electronic timer is Melendez’s (first time it was used at the combine).

4.24 – Rondel Melendez, (WR), Eastern Kentucky – 1999

Wes Welker who? Percy Harvin what? I want the new toy. Wow.

Probably like the “4.65″ run by Armstead that was actually a 4.71…still very fast but a HUGE difference.

I think these 4.2 “somethings” will be in the same category.

Speed is a great thing-after all you cannot teach it. The problem with a lot of these speed guy though is that when the speed slips a little, they have nothing more to lean on ala CJ2K. Would also be more interesting to see these guys have to run in more of a football setting-pads and possibly a moving target or something like that.

I’m happy for them. When they’re out of the league in two years they might be able to make some money running track.

I wish they would have broken the record. Now I’m sure we will have to listen to the incoherent babble of one Chris Johnson talk about how he is so fast. If we can understand him, or if he makes any sense at all. Both are unlikely.
