2:10 shows you why the slowest, heaviest player in the NFL is still more athletic than any normal person. I love watching people talk about "Oh I could take this guy" or "I could outrun him he's slow" NAH BRO. 360+ pounds of bullrush will come at you WAY faster than you can ever react.
Normal person? He's mid 50s and obviously not in "athletic" shape. Normal people have categories too, some 40 year old dude that played rec sports but maintains a decent workout and weight can probably still beat most of the big linemen with cleats and a little practice in the 40YD. Now drop it to a 21 year old in the same situation, and he'll do even better.
Fair point. But also, if it is just about speed, I, a recreational sports player and former college hockey player, would definitely be faster than a lot of the heavier guys in the NFL. They are not paid for their 40 yard dash, and neither am I, but at least I know how to run and weigh 200lbs less than they do.
@@leafan101 faster? Yes. More athletic? Probably not. There's a difference between being athletic and being "fast". NFL athletes are EXPLOSIVE, even the slowest ones. They generate a lot of accurate power very, very quickly - and make it look easy in the process. Running is one thing, but accelerating from zero to running that quickly with that much mass isn't a skill that's present in any other sport. COMBINE that with the stamina and closing speed some of the leaner guys have, and that's a deadly skillset. That's why a lot of football guys will talk about the "motor" - the ability of a player to generate an explosive amount of acceleration VERY quickly. Running backs are a great example. They have to ramp their power production up and down very quickly and shift LOTS of weight at unreasonable angles while keeping their vision open and slipping blocks.
@@spdcrzyAgain, your points are fairly reasonable, but probably not inclusive enough. It is hard to actually define the words "athletic" and "explosive". Tour de France cyclists look as thin as rakes next to most athletes, yet if you were to measure their peak power output pedaling on a bike, there isnt a single NFL player who could even come close to that number, despite their legs being 5 times as thick and despite the fact that in a leg press, the nfl player could push like 10 to 15 times more weight at least. It is all about specialization, and the NFL is probably more specialized than most teams sports, though is definitely more generalist than most individual sports, like cycling. Another example would be skating vs. running. Despite being similar activity from a cardiological point of view, the way the muscles are used is distinctly different. You could teach an NFL player all the technical skill they would need to skate fast in probably a month or two. But the fact is, it would take a long time before the muscles were trained properly. An NFL who never trained in skating would take months or years before they could approach the speed of even an amateur hockey player who has been skating since they were a kid. And vice versa. And in the more specialized sports like cycling, it might take 5 to 10 years of training before the muscles had adapted enough to compete even at the amateur level. In sports, it is important to recognize that being great in one does not necessarily equate to overall greatness. The most generalist sports like Rugby might be more adaptable to more things, but they will never equal a specialist in their own turf, like a NFL receiver in speed. A specialist like a cyclist will be so well adapted to their sport that it is pretty much impossible that anyone not training in the sport since later childhood could ever catch up to them. Somewhere in the middle, skewing to one side or the other depending on position (QBs to the generalist side, D-line to the specialist side, for example), are NFL players. It is pointless to argue about relative athleticism: all athleticism is relative.
The dialogue at the end had me cracking up. "Watch the flaps on the pockets. Look at the pockets. He's close to going airborne. He should have snapped them down!" LOL
@@teeemm9456 I mean, I get your point, but Coleman has been far from untouchable in the 60m, seeing as he lost this year to Lyles (not at worlds, but earlier) and last world champs to Jacobs. I'd say something like Holloway in the 60mH rather than the 110mH or Swoboda in the women's 60m vs the 100m. One athlete that is actually untouchable in the shorter distance and another who goes from average amongst pros in the longer distance to one of the best in the shorter.
@@enolopanr9820 That would simply be called a track meet. It just so happens that there will be a big competition this year that does basically exactly that. I think it's called the Olympics?
Bruh the fact that in the simulation, John ross is catching worthy is crazy, let's just hope worthy actually has a good career and isn't just known for his speed
You kidding? There’s a full body gap between McCaffrey’s and Worthy and Ross are nearly overlapped, worthy doesn’t even have a full step on him. His head is inches in front. He should have tied Ross at 4.22
John Ross is still faster. He just missed the start compared to the other guy. I'm only stating because these aren't races so much as they are experiments to find the fastest guy.
@@PopularNobodyIt was pretty clear that Ross has a higher top speed. Another 5 yards and Ross would have been ahead, and would have smoked him at 60-70 yards.
"And with the first pick of the 2024 NFL draft... the Chicago Bears select..."
"George the IT guy"
Better than any QB they've drafted ever.
Dont put that evil magic on me Ricky Bobby
And 2nd pick is his flaps
😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
generational talent
George the IT Guy rocking the Wrangler work shirt because he was putting in work!
That run was funny man 😂
So awesome.
George the “IT GUY” … MVP
Look at the flaps 😂
I love these so much. It shows the differences in the positions so well
My absolute favorite part of every combine. You're awesome Rich Eisen

1:44 the difference between 4.4 and 4.3 is wild! Didn’t expect that
Yea basically 2 yards
It’s a big difference for real
That's not accurate at all. I used to run a 4.45 and the difference is about 1 yard per every tenth of a second.
always love the rich eisen cam 🤣😂
The dialogue at the end had me cracking up. "Watch the flaps on the pockets. Look at the pockets. He's close to going airborne. He should have snapped them down!" LOL
"Look at his eyes" 😂😂
Worthy popped up around 20, Ross stayed in drive phase and immediately started to catch up 😮
Ross was hawking him down when they reached top speed.
It's a 40 though, not a 50+, same reason Coleman has basically been untouchable in the 60m not not 100m

@@Elliottklassen fastest 3 times, and 2 more tied at 5th, is more of what I meant.
John Ross was hawking Worthy down in top speed.
There needs to be a full field 100 yard race at the end with the top 20 times for a big money prize

I wish they did this on every event this was awesome!!!
John Ross was catching him on the top end 😮
4:07
Battle: Los Angeles be like. 🏃🏃🏾🏃🏼"morning staff sergeant" "morning staff sergeant"... "morning staff sergeant" lol
For the john ross xavier worthy one it looked like ross was faster but worthy took off quicker
Dt tackles out runing qbs man its crazy times evolution is always evolving za
I had a seizure trying to read this
@@TariqSWOLEnyou need to go see a doctor, don't you think? 🤔
I love when they use rich simulcam of him losing with 8 yard head start
Ross was still increasing in speed smh that’s wild
🤣 "George the IT Guy" is now my Hero. It' all in the Eyes, that mans eyes are on the prize! Get it big dawg!
That's amazing for Worthy. Ricky Pearsall low-key had the best overall combine for WR's.
😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤❤
Lol I can't stop laughing at his laugh at the end lol😂😂😂😂😂
It would appear that another 10 yards and Ross may catch him!
Ross would have been ahead with another 5 yards.
Y’all do know John was just coasting and stumbling
Rich has to endure this trolling every year until he retires.
Fax 💀😂
George the IT guy gets the award for most focused.
IT WAS ACTUALLY VERY INTERESTING!
Rich Has the greatest 40 yd - in the history of the combine❤😅😊 My man
George the IT guy 🤣
😂😂😂😭😭😭😳😳😳
@@alphabarre9096 "look at the concentration in the eyes 👀" 🤣🤣
Pete was standing on business 😂😂😂
Who's the guy that looks dead on the field?
They are roasting the man so hard 😂
My favorite 😂 3:41
Yooo I LOVE these ! 🔥🤣🤣🤣
Amazing.
Love These Man
Rich Eisen “ATH” is sending me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bruh the fact that in the simulation, John ross is catching worthy is crazy, let's just hope worthy actually has a good career and isn't just known for his speed
I don't understand you can clearly see worthy starting before Ross on the simulcam??
They started at the same time worthy just got a slightly better start
@@cubsfanman-nx6pgnah his knee drops down before Ross starts moving. Put it on .25 it's clear
Wow this was great lol
Not Rich Naruto-running the first 10 yards
That was awesome
With George the IT guy 40 we clocking out and leaving work with that one
Love, loved it
as a longhorns fan when xavier worthy ran the fastest 40 i was shocked i new he was quick but not that dang quick
🤣🤣 this is great
DRAFT COLLEGE FOOTBALL GOAT, JJ MCCARTHY
Miss valentine.
Yes?
They're having fun😅
Rich ain't never get hawked by Sam Hartman 😂🏃💨
it's crazy how fast we used to be compared to now. lol.
Rich should take solace in the fact that if he gets 10 yards on you, he can score.
They did George DIRTY!!!
Rich got em 1 tho 😂
Let Rich win, let Rich win!!!
Rich esien still faster than Brady
This was hilarious
Should have done George the IT Guy vs Xavier Worthy
Notice the .01 gap on the McCaffrey bros vs the .01 gap on Ross and Worthy 🤔
They look about the same. What are you even trying to say?
You kidding? There’s a full body gap between McCaffrey’s and Worthy and Ross are nearly overlapped, worthy doesn’t even have a full step on him. His head is inches in front. He should have tied Ross at 4.22
@blitz2924 Xavier worthys back foot in about where john Ross front foot is and it's the same with mccaffrery
Stop tryna make stuff up lol
Watch the flaps😂
nahhh they did rich dirty 😭
John Ross is still faster. He just missed the start compared to the other guy. I'm only stating because these aren't races so much as they are experiments to find the fastest guy.
4.21 > 4.22 lil bro
Hitting the start is about the way you run and react. You can't just discredit that because you want someone to be faster
@@PopularNobodyIt was pretty clear that Ross has a higher top speed. Another 5 yards and Ross would have been ahead, and would have smoked him at 60-70 yards.
And…? Jon Ross became an important offensive weapon? NOPE 🤷🏻♂️
Lol he shouldn’t have said that 😂
Beat the only girl 😂😂😂
Did he really say, “18 guys who came”? 🤦🏻♂️
Where is Tom grossi?😆🌪️
How about Rich running against me. 67 years old. Should be a even race.
Adam Acone didn’t run thru the tape #iykyk
y'all need to stop making fun of rich 😂 at this point
🎉🎉🎉🎉zoom
Rich too scared to race Gale Lewis smh
😂 lmao
💀💀💀💀💀
Who cares on this sprint machines 3 rings. Cooper Kupp La Rams 4.8 three awards one season and Super Bowl champ MVP
Rich Eisen after so many years still running pathetic times. Obviously never did anything athletic in his life
Dude is not putting the work in
The jig is kinda better with him being bad, I guess

John Ross is faster. He just got a better start, cheating the system.
