He is not of this world.
All the football players and their handlers saying they could beat Bolt (or any of those 3 medalists) in the 40y dash are completely full of ****. With "NFL" timing, which is partially done by hand, they would all be sub 4.3 and possibly sub 4.00 seconds.
When all the footballers compare this **** they forget that track times include REACTION TIME and the clock STARTS WHEN THE GUN GOES OFF not first movement like NFL, college, high school 40's.
The guy is a freak of nature and there is no baller in this world that he would not flat out destroy.

When he hits top speed is irrelevant. Yes, he would still be accelerating beyond 40y mark, as would 99.9% of world class 100m guys. The sub 4.0 was referring to a time based on the methods used by most people and NFL scouts, hand-time. In that method there is no reaction time accounted for, the clock starts at the starters notice of first movement and is stopped when the starter "sees" them cross the finish line. LOTS of room for error. It would be a bogus time for sure as are any other 40 times timed in this method. The proper method is FAT and that is still based on first movement, where as in track the clock starts when the GUN GOES OFF. FAT is what a lot of the camps use and why you don't see any of the 4.3's like everyone says they run. Bumphis ran 4.5 or so at one of these. So would Bolt run a REAL sub 4.0 40? No. Neither would you see these NFL and college 4.3's
FYI - Per his coach, Ben Johnson was timed by NFL scout in the 80's at sub 4.0 HAND-TIME, like all the NFL scouts do, so was one of his training partners. Usain Bolt would be with Ben Johnson at his prime step for step.

and stated that he would cover 40 yards in about 3.1 seconds at top speed (a running start) at the pace of his 9.58 run. Also said he was running at about 30mph when he was at top speed in the middle of the race.
Incredible.
Incredible.
If you consider that the guy in Lane 1 was within a yard of Bolt at about 40 yds (around the 4.0-4.5 s mark) and that the guy in Lane 1 ran a 10.00 s in that race, then it would stand to reason that athletes who run a 10.00 s 100m could hang with Usain Bolt in the first 40 yds (likely to within .1 s). If Usain Bolt runs a 4.0 s 40 as timed by your typical football coach, then why haven't we heard about Jeff Demps and Trindon Holliday running 4.0-4.1 s 40s?
its absolutely absurd to think that anyone in the NFL can dream of keeping up with usain bolt or tyson gay. absurd
