Hoyt Sigman very true 40 yard dash is acceleration but not who’s actually the “fastest” just like usain bolt is the fastest man but his top speed is little bit after the 40 yard dash
Bullet Bob Hayes! A Cowboys legend and hall of famer. Couldn't get much better than him when he was playing. I wish I could've been around at the time to see him play. God blessed that man with speed may he rest in peace. He died in 2002 before he was inducted in 2009.
Darrell Green gave a motivational speech to my sister after she had a freak accident & had broken her neck. Such a stand up guy & I remember even back then in the early 90’s the Redskins use to have they’re training camp in our town.
@@15scottie Not even close to 2nd fastest .. Herschel Walker ran in the Olympic trials and held the 60 yd dash World Record til it was broken by Carl Lewis.

Combine #s are a joke, they need to do their workouts in pads, it will separate the football speed from the track speed. Some guys cant adjust to wearing pads as well as others
@John Molloy nope no human can. N never did more old speed stories what happened did humans become slower? Cuz no one can do that bs now that there's computerized times. N 100 m isn't a great football speed test. Ull see guys like Andre Johnson had a faster 100m than devin hester. Length n strides allowed for faster 100m times
@@kellyyoung6137 A prime Bob Hayes could smoke anybody, that is including all the dopers since the 1980s. Bob Hayes had an exploding start along with the fastest top speed ever recorded. I doubt Darrel Green could keep up with Bullet Bob.
Track speed is not the same as football speed. Sure a guy who is fast on a track is going to be fast on a football field too but he might not be the fastest. They should put on a full uniform and carry a football and run on grass. Not in shorts on a track.
Terence Brooks no thats why bo jackson was faster than hays. And he had more big plays. It takes vision to know where to run and how to run and then.pull away in pads. Football speed is different. I ran 4.7 40 yet had more big plays than a guy who ran 4.4 40 in highschool. I was 20 lbs smaller 4 inches shorter. Yet i could break away from people and be faster on the field
@@terencebrooks7904 fast is fast, but if your a track guy and have never ran in pads you will lose a step. And when you get laid out by a DB you will definitely slow down. So game speed and track, or combine speed is totaly different. You may be faster than me straight up but when I check you off the line you slow down. Football speed is different than track speed. You would know if you have ever played football.
shin splints? try running on a hard clay rutted track. 48 years later and I still got them. I curse the day that I went out for track. Dumbest thing I've ever done with good intentions in high school.
I was waiting for you to mention Bob Hayes-and you did! And did him justice. I grew up when he was playing. My college roommate had a poster of him on his wall (I’m older...). I had never thought about the zone defense thing, but he certainly changed the paradigm of what a “wide receiver” is, and could mean to the game. His autobiography is an interesting read, also. Another great video-I am forwarding to my college roommate!
@@beefsteew420 Well logically speaking It is impossible for him to have run 4.12-4.13 in the 40 yd dash. 1. ALL NFL 40 times were hand timed up til 1999. The scouts used to fluff the results all of the time. 2. He has a hand timed 30 yard dash of 4.1 seconds. From home to 1st base during a baseball tryout. 10 more yards in just .02 seconds? Not humanly possible. 3. He has a 55m fully automatic timed in 6.18. 55m is only 20 more yards than 40 yds. Herschel Walker ran 6.11. Sam Graddy ran 6.03, Darrell Green 6.15, Ron Brown 6.10, johnny Lam Jones 6.17. And I can name more. You actually think Bo was that much ahead of these guys at 40 yds then they blew past him in the last 20 to be ahead of him by 0.01-.015 seconds? The latter part of it is Impossible unless Bo just stops running at 40yds and jogs across the line. 4. Christian Coleman is the 60m World record holder at 6.34 (destroying the previous record of 6.39) and has a 9.76 100m best which is 6th fastest in history. He is also the quickest starter in the history of sprinting, by way of his 3.77 first 30m (which is faster than Usain Bolt's 3.78 first 30m during his world record 9.58 100m). Coleman ran an NFL style 40yd dash on turf with semi auto timing like the NFL uses since 1999 in 4.12. You would actually bet that Bo at 227lbs, who has NEVER run a world class time in any event (pb 10.44 100m) would run stride for stride with 165 lb, quickest starter in sprint history, 60m WR holder, and 6th fastest man in history Coleman over 40yds? Stop it.
I very rarely leave comments online but you put out the quality of content that you'd expect to see on ESPN. Seriously man, you're killing it. Keep up the great work.
There is definitely a difference between being quick and being fast. When we describe cars we discuss low-end vs. top-end speed. Like comparing a heavy muscle car vs. a Porsche. When describing the football players in this video the same distinction was made. Some football players can accelerate sooner but aren't ultimately as fast at the end of their burst. Some football players accelerate slower but ultimately finish moving at a much greater rate of speed at the end of their burst, albeit they need more room/distance to get to their top speed. Very cool video. I talk about this difference all the time.
Very good point. That's why the 40 yard doesn't tell the whole story. I remember when the Raiders took Darius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree because he had a 4.3 40 dash. Face palm.
the only [problem with your analysis is that it isnt backed up by real data. looking at years of splits over the 100m shows that very few athletes have superior 40s, or 60s but not 100m times. Athletes that have great 60m generally have very good, or great 100m. The athletes that run 9.8 100m also have the fastest 30,40,50,60m times. Generally. in other words, fast is fast. there are the odd exceptions but very few. In that regard, just as much value could be had from 60m.
@@timn4481 The general principle is still true. The runners you are talking about are the odd balls and that is why they are the top sprinters - they can do both. Watch any 100m race and you will see this principle played out all the time.
The 40 yard dash doesn't always translate to how fast they are on the field. So if I had to pick one guy that I've watched. I'd say Darrel Green. And this is coming from a lifetime Cowboys fan. He use to chase down our WR's like nothing. Much respect to him.
But Green was also out run on the field. You cannot say with 100% accuracy who is fastest on the field because there is no way to measure and compare the speed of players not on the same field or from different eras. As far as actual timed speed goes Jim Hines ran faster than any other NFL player in history.
@@sydboski you're right. I'm just speaking on the ones I paid attention to. I'm not going to speculate on other players I've never paid attention to. There are no exact time measurements on on the field playing compared to an actual timed run.
It’s a well known fact that Darrel Green actually ran backwards through time and that’s how he was able to stay in the league well into his 40s . #true store
@@bradleyboyer9979 1. The 40 does not measure the top speed of the fastest players. Top speed is definitely a big part of how fast you can run. 2. Green has reported hand timed 40's back when the NFL routinely fluffed the numbers.
@Chet Do you know what the difference is between being called the the NFL's fastest man and being the fastest man in NFL history? They are entirely 2 different things.
Darrell Green is also a Hall of Famer and top 10 Corner of all time. He is unarguably the most beloved Redskin of ALL TIME and has a great, fun-loving, friendly personality.
Robert "Bob" Hayes: Aka, "Bullet Bob"** The Only NFL Player** To Win An Olympic Gold Medal, And A Super Bowl Ring!!!!** "The Fastest NFL Player Of All Times."**
On a related note, he's not the only Olympic gold medalist enshrined in Canton. Jim Thorpe was the first. As arguably the greatest athlete of the early 20th century, he needs little introduction.
You’re forgetting that he was in lane 1 which was damp overused by the 20k walk race earlier and the us team protested to have him in a different lane but it didn’t work.
He still ran faster than he ever did on any other cinder surface. So it couldn't have hindered him as much as everyone thinks. Jim Hines still ran faster than Hayes on cinders 10.03 to 10.06.
Hester was not even the fastest player of his draft class let alone all time. He was amazingly quick over 20-50 yards but probably couldnt run much more than 10.4 100M. Darrell Green and Bob Hayes would be far ahead of him over 100m.
I like that Ginn put his money where his mouth is too putting 10k on the line to anyone who wants to race. I’m a buckeye fan so I’ve been watching him for a long time and I bet he’s still one of the top 10 fastest in the league still and at his prime not many could run with him. Not many people know he ran a little bit of track at Ohio State and he reportedly ran a 10.2 in practice with 10 minutes of stretching
Greatest moment of Chiefs game was when Damien Williams takes the hand off and breaks away for a certain score getting behind the Vikings defense and was off to the races for a score as he pulled further and further away from everyone accept Hill! By the time Williams reached the 5 yard line, Hill had caught up to him and put his arm around him! That was an amazing thing to see!
Vikings fan here, I drove down for this game, has endzone seats, and remember this well...Hill is the fastest person 8ve ever seen in person. I played Semi-Pro fir 17 years, played with alot of guys that were legit 4.4, a few 4.3 but struggled in other parts of their game or they would have been in the league, but watching Hill in person....fastest I've ever seen. Pro or not.
I had the honor and privilege to meet Bob Hayes down in Miami Orange bowl during the what they called the playoff bowl against Minnesota Vikings in 1968.. Dallas won that game he was the last guy out of that stadium and I waited for him to come out and I remember it was raining hard that day and he talked to me for a few minutes but he says little guy sorry but I'm in a hurry to get on the plane .. he asked me what my name was and he told me to stay in school and keep my dreams alive and someday maybe I'll be a football player.. I get chills to this very day thinking about what he said.. And I also have the honor to meet him a hearing Denver Colorado back to one of his book signings at one of our malls out here.. The book was called Run bullet Run.. he was to me the person I looked up to and I want to be like and run like and play football like as I was growing up he was an amazing man and amazing to watch and whenever Dallas cowboys played on TV I always made sure I've always watched that game.. R.I.P mr. Robert Hayes you're always in my heart and always my memory buddy... #22. The original 22
I am 62 and I ran 440 dash on a cinder track in several meets in 1973 as a 9th grader . The cinder tracks are definitely slower especially if damp. The best I ran that year on the cinder track was a 54.8 . The best on what I call a rubberized asphalt almost new track was a 53.1. I was pretty consistent in most of my times as well as anchoring the mile relay. I would say the difference in times of 1.7 seconds was likely entirely due to the different surfaces. My understanding is that the cinders were from coal fired railroad locomotives but I could definitely be wrong.
Hester's best 100m is only 10.62 no where near world class. and stop with the video game speed references. They have nothing to do with real life speed.
Pretty much. Hayes came in and led the league in receiving TDs his first two seasons and forced teams to play zone, he was a rookie in 1965. But the biggest change by far, probably the single biggest rule change in NFL history, was the 5 yard chuck rule that started in 1978. That is what led to the explosion of zone defenses. Also called the Mel Blount rule. Before then a DB could bump a receiver all over the field until the ball was thrown. Mel Blount would bang on guys and they couldn't get away from him. Watch old clips, guys like him and Lem Barney were masters of the bump and run coverage, heavy on the bump. The NFL wiped that out, suddenly CBs needed to be quick and it didn't matter if they weren't physical or couldn't defend the run. Mel Blount was the best CB in the NFL, the prototype after the rule change was Neon Deion. There was no more contact. But when Hayes played you could try to bang and grab until the pass was thrown In 1977 2500 passing yards led the NFL (14 games) 179 yard per game. The league average was 142 yards per game. In 1978 the average jumped to 159, then to 180 in 1979. Then 196, 204. Basically in about 3 years passing yards jump by more than 1/3 simply because of that one rule change.
I had a family member that raced against Bob Hayes. My family member said that the blocks they use at the start flew backwards behind Mr. Hayes when the gun went off. When my family member saw Mr. Haye's blocks fly back, he faked a hami as he didn't want to be embarrassed by losing the race.
Because you have to stop and ask yourself, How long did Jett play in the NFL? Was he a camp body or a game-changer like Bullet Bob Hayes? The answer to that is why he's not mentioned here.
ODANNEK Here are the facts. James Jett ran a 6.10 in the 1996 competition, (tying Green’s best time), which gave him the fastest time of all of the ‘90s runners. Jett outran Carl Lewis in the 1992 100 meter prelims, and won a gold medal as part of the 100 meter relay team. He won another gold medal in 1996 after running the first two rounds of the 4 x 100 relay, but gave up his spot to Carl Lewis (still earned the gold). Jett had a long career in the NFL playing from 1993-2002 (which is a long career for a speed receiver). He was one of Al Davis’s more successful “speed kills” WRs and retired as the 8th leading WR in Raider’s history. Jett was one of two players from the LA Raiders to still be on the team for Super Bowl 37, (the other was Tim Brown). Jett was also a fan favorite as a Los Angeles Raider. I think he’s left his mark in both Olympic and NFL history, and as the numbers show, he was certainly one of the fastest to ever play the game. By no means was he a “camp body,” as he was a starter along side Tim Brown for much of his career. You don’t have to be a Raider fan to recognize that.
@@TheSteveSteele - Do you know what The Rocket Ishmael's , or Trindon Holiday's or Dennard Robinson's 60 yard speeds were ?. Also, what was Michael Vicks 40 yard speed ?.
@@sydboski Faster time doesn't necessarily mean they were faster. Wind and track conditions have a lot to do with times. Darrell did it consistently for decades. He ran down Dorsett, who was a speed demon himself and also Eric Dickerson, one of the NFL's fastest and prolific backs. He also never lost the NFL Fastest Man competition and stayed on top of his game for over 20 years.
@@gavinscott10 If you are the world record holder in the 100m dash who is faster? No one. Why? Because no one has a faster time. Neither Dorsett nor Dickerson had world class speed. Green was out run by Michael Haines from the Falcons and Ron Brown from the Rams. It's not like Green only ran one 100m dash. He ran it plenty of times. He best was 10.08. He never ran faster than that. Maintaining your speed longer in life doesn't make you faster than your best. The reality is there are guys who ran faster than Green did on his best day.
@@kennycarlson9654 Cliff is my favorite player of all time. But even he was not as fast as a prime Bob Hayes. Branch ran a hand timed 10.00. That converts to 10.24 fully automatic. Hayes ran 10.06 fully automatic. Wining a race against someone only makes you faster on that day. Tyson Gay beat Usain Bolt but Bolt is still faster.
I've ALWAYS THOUGHT that given the same training methods, diet, track surface and any other of today's enhancements, Bob Hayes was, hands down, the fastest man EVER filmed running a 100-yard or 100-meter sprint.
He actually wasn't. Jim Hines ran 10.03 on cinders to break Hayes' 10.06 world record during the 1968 AAU championships. It was better known as The NIght of Speed. Jim Hines is the fastest man to ever put on an NFL uniform and play in the NFL.
@@benthekeeshond545 Nope. Hines actually broke Hayes' 10.06 world record with a 10.03 during the 1968 AAU champs in California. It is not famously known as "The Night of Speed". Also Bob would not have run anywhere close to 9.5.
@@sydboski If Bullet Bob kept on training in T&F for another 5 years, he might. The only thing is that he had no competition. Nobody could stay with him. You must know that Bullet Bob ran a 9.65sec in the 4X100-relay because he was running all-out to make up a 10m deficit and he ended up winning by 10m. I will say this, if Usain was to compete against Bullet Bob, Usain or his contemporary dopies would eat dust. Please be reminded that the Great Bob Hayes didn't use supplements such as Bonds, Armstrong, or the post-1980 PEDs sprinters.
@@benthekeeshond545 You can say the same for every sprinter that went to the NFL. "IF" they trained another 5 years they might. Who knows? I have heard the rumors and saw the video of Bob's legendary run, but it wasn't 9.65. It was supposedly 8.5 which is also false for 3 reasons. 1. Timing. Relay splits are not official. In 1964 his split would have been hand timed. You know you have to add 0.24 to convert hand time to fully automatic timing. 2. Bob got the stick late in the passing zone. Exactly mid zone is 100m from the finish line. Bob getting the stick late in the zone means he ran less than 100m 3. None of the other anchors out there ran faster than 10.50 in the 100m during the Olympics. None were in the 100m final. One was a long jumper and another was a 400m man. So if Bob rand 8.5 that would put the others around 8.9 which is impossible. Bob's anchor leg was amazing, but it was closer to 8.9. Today's sprinters run 8.8 - 8.7 Bolt ran 8.65 during the World relays. You think Bolt took drugs?
Rodger Staubach mentioned that Coach Landry called him Staubach even though he was Naval Academy grad, starting QB, Heisman Trophy winner, Vietnam Vet. But, he always Bob Hayes by his first name. When Staubach asked Hayes about it. Hayes just said 9 flat. Wind aided but who cares. He ran a 9.1 official . Haaaaaaaaaaa Go Bullet Bob Hayes!!!!
I wish they would run the 40 and other combine events with pads on. My brother had a 4.5 40 and was considered second fastest on the team yet with pads on he still had a 4.5 40 and all of a sudden was the fastest player on the field no doubt. It would be cool to see it happen but it's not as entertaining for sure.
4.09? 4.09 folks ....when I saw him RUN DOWN Marcus Allen, Erik Dickerson AND WILLIE GAULT (Olympic speed) I was convinced Darrell Green was fast. He'll always be #1 in my book. Especially football speed. Love the video.
i was a Bob Hayes fan..he was incredible ,,i think the fastest of all-time.,but thats my opinion.. But i did watch him whenever i could..just like Wilt..superhuman too.
Imagine back in the days...Your coach tells you that TODAY you're going to be covering the 'bullet'...I would be terrified. I would yell, ' HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO STOP A BULLET?...YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING, COACH ' lol
T T Moore Back in the early 90’s I met him at his training camp in Carlisle, Pa. Wish I had a camera back then bc I remember them racing & timing him & I believe that might be one of those times he set a record.
John Pottorgg This was back in the early 90’s & I was like 11 but I remember it was at Dickinson college & yes it was timed but I don’t think there were any officials there but I remember the crowd getting all excited bc someone announced that Green had set a all new record.
Just looking at the title of the video, before watching it, two names popped into my head: Tyreek Hill, currently, but historically -- Bob Hayes. Hayes would have been the first choice of anyone old enough to remember having watched him. After all, he was an Olympic champion, the world record holder in the 100-meter dash, and was always referred to as the World's Fastest Man. He was on the field to do one thing: stretch coverages by always being a threat to score.
@@sydboski But, s, the subject is fastest FOOTBALL players. People who actually had a career in the NFL and impacted games. Hines played briefly, but he was strictly a short-lived gimmick without real skills, who was drafted as a speculative project that didn't pan out. No one game-planned for Jim Hines.
@@rickrose5377 Did he play in the NFL? Yes. On his tax return for 1969 and 1970 what was his occupation? NFL player. Ok, he sucked. But he made it through not one but two training camps, and actually got in some games. He was an NFL player just not a good one. Btw the title says fastest NFL players not fastest football players.
@@sydboski syd, it's nor worth quibbling over, but I think the guy behind this channel -- behind KTO, I mean -- stipulates near the beginning of the video, that he's talking about actual players, not oddities.

Combine #s are a joke, they need to do their workouts in pads, it will separate the football speed from the track speed. Some guys cant adjust to wearing pads as well as others
Not only pads but some have faster top end speed than others the 40 only checks how quickly u can get a fast speed going
Bob Hayes had track speed and football speed, so I'd say this vid reached a valid conclusion.
@John Molloy nope no human can. N never did more old speed stories what happened did humans become slower? Cuz no one can do that bs now that there's computerized times.

A prime Bob Hayes could smoke anybody, that is including all the dopers since the 1980s. Bob Hayes had an exploding start along with the fastest top speed ever recorded. I doubt Darrel Green could keep up with Bullet Bob.
Not an nfl Fan. But love a KTO mini fact documentary ❤️ awesome work, great content
Track speed is not the same as football speed. Sure a guy who is fast on a track is going to be fast on a football field too but he might not be the fastest. They should put on a full uniform and carry a football and run on grass. Not in shorts on a track.
Fast is fast , Scott . The guys in these videos ran in shorts AND pads , and fast is fast .
Terence Brooks no thats why bo jackson was faster than hays. And he had more big plays. It takes vision to know where to run and how to run and then.pull away in pads. Football speed is different. I ran 4.7 40 yet had more big plays than a guy who ran 4.4 40 in highschool. I was 20 lbs smaller 4 inches shorter. Yet i could break away from people and be faster on the field
@@terencebrooks7904 fast is fast, but if your a track guy and have never ran in pads you will lose a step. And when you get laid out by a DB you will definitely slow down. So game speed and track, or combine speed is totaly different. You may be faster than me straight up but when I check you off the line you slow down. Football speed is different than track speed. You would know if you have ever played football.

I was waiting for you to mention Bob Hayes-and you did! And did him justice. I grew up when he was playing. My college roommate had a poster of him on his wall (I’m older...). I had never thought about the zone defense thing, but he certainly changed the paradigm of what a “wide receiver” is, and could mean to the game. His autobiography is an interesting read, also.
Another great video-I am forwarding to my college roommate!

@@natesmith6713 What about Jim Hines who ran 10.03 on cinders to break Hayes' 10.06 record during the 1968 AAU champs also called The Night of Speed.
Also,hand clocked 40's are completely specious as ANY player knows
Idc if it was hand clocked or not I would bet my house Bo Jackson ran a sub 4.2 40 some say he ran a 4.002 before closest to a sub 4 40
Especially since they don't even have starts. They just try to hit the button when they see the player moving forward.
@@beefsteew420 You'd lose your house on that bet. Bo's times at other distances to not point to him being that quick
@@sydboski nobody knows what his real 40 would be so you can’t even say that 😂
@@beefsteew420 Well logically speaking It is impossible for him to have run 4.12-4.13 in the 40 yd dash.
1. ALL NFL 40 times were hand timed up til 1999. The scouts used to fluff the results all of the time.
2. He has a hand timed 30 yard dash of 4.1 seconds. From home to 1st base during a baseball tryout. 10 more yards in just .02 seconds? Not humanly possible.
3. He has a 55m fully automatic timed in 6.18. 55m is only 20 more yards than 40 yds. Herschel Walker ran 6.11. Sam Graddy ran 6.03, Darrell Green 6.15, Ron Brown 6.10, johnny Lam Jones 6.17. And I can name more. You actually think Bo was that much ahead of these guys at 40 yds then they blew past him in the last 20 to be ahead of him by 0.01-.015 seconds? The latter part of it is Impossible unless Bo just stops running at 40yds and jogs across the line.
4. Christian Coleman is the 60m World record holder at 6.34 (destroying the previous record of 6.39) and has a 9.76 100m best which is 6th fastest in history. He is also the quickest starter in the history of sprinting, by way of his 3.77 first 30m (which is faster than Usain Bolt's 3.78 first 30m during his world record 9.58 100m). Coleman ran an NFL style 40yd dash on turf with semi auto timing like the NFL uses since 1999 in 4.12. You would actually bet that Bo at 227lbs, who has NEVER run a world class time in any event (pb 10.44 100m) would run stride for stride with 165 lb, quickest starter in sprint history, 60m WR holder, and 6th fastest man in history Coleman over 40yds?

Yessir... Bullet Bob Hayes. ✊🏾Duval Co. standup!. Famu stand up. 🙏🏾RIP.
There is definitely a difference between being quick and being fast. When we describe cars we discuss low-end vs. top-end speed. Like comparing a heavy muscle car vs. a Porsche.
When describing the football players in this video the same distinction was made. Some football players can accelerate sooner but aren't ultimately as fast at the end of their burst. Some football players accelerate slower but ultimately finish moving at a much greater rate of speed at the end of their burst, albeit they need more room/distance to get to their top speed.
Very cool video. I talk about this difference all the time.
Very good point. That's why the 40 yard doesn't tell the whole story. I remember when the Raiders took Darius Heyward-Bey over Michael Crabtree because he had a 4.3 40 dash. Face palm.
Never heard it put that way.
the only [problem with your analysis is that it isnt backed up by real data. looking at years of splits over the 100m shows that very few athletes have superior 40s, or 60s but not 100m times. Athletes that have great 60m generally have very good, or great 100m. The athletes that run 9.8 100m also have the fastest 30,40,50,60m times. Generally.
in other words, fast is fast. there are the odd exceptions but very few. In that regard, just as much value could be had from 60m.
Was always my problem I’d put 3 kids on their ass cutting up field and would get about 15-20 yards before being caught
@@timn4481 The general principle is still true. The runners you are talking about are the odd balls and that is why they are the top sprinters - they can do both. Watch any 100m race and you will see this principle played out all the time.
The 40 yard dash doesn't always translate to how fast they are on the field. So if I had to pick one guy that I've watched. I'd say Darrel Green. And this is coming from a lifetime Cowboys fan. He use to chase down our WR's like nothing. Much respect to him.
I agree. Both Bob Hayes and Darrel Green are the fastest players I know of based on their play and timed races. Everyone else is 2 steps behind.
oh yeah darrel and bob fastest guys on the football field especially darrel.
But Green was also out run on the field. You cannot say with 100% accuracy who is fastest on the field because there is no way to measure and compare the speed of players not on the same field or from different eras. As far as actual timed speed goes Jim Hines ran faster than any other NFL player in history.
@@sydboski you're right. I'm just speaking on the ones I paid attention to. I'm not going to speculate on other players I've never paid attention to. There are no exact time measurements on on the field playing compared to an actual timed run.
Bullet Bob. The Cowboys lined him up on the outside and told to just run straight down the field. The ball will be there.

sydboski you know nothing lolol
the 40 yard dash isn’t really a speed test but more of a quickness/explosion test, they should run the 60m or 100m
It's Cheeto alright but when in a game situation are you gonna be running 100m , 40 yards is more realistic
in-game situations are different, i'm talking about a test of true speed
It's Cheeto no need for that in a test for football
40 yards is good to determine Football speed. But make it 100meters to really see who the fastest is.
On a related note, he's not the only Olympic gold medalist enshrined in Canton. Jim Thorpe was the first. As arguably the greatest athlete of the early 20th century, he needs little introduction.

I’m a buckeye fan so I’ve been watching him for a long time and I bet he’s still one of the top 10 fastest in the league still and at his prime not many could run with him. Not many people know he ran a little bit of track at Ohio State and he reportedly ran a 10.2 in practice with 10 minutes of stretching
Greatest moment of Chiefs game was when Damien Williams takes the hand off and breaks away for a certain score getting behind the Vikings defense and was off to the races for a score as he pulled further and further away from everyone accept Hill! By the time Williams reached the 5 yard line, Hill had caught up to him and put his arm around him! That was an amazing thing to see!
Vikings fan here, I drove down for this game, has endzone seats, and remember this well...Hill is the fastest person 8ve ever seen in person. I played Semi-Pro fir 17 years, played with alot of guys that were legit 4.4, a few 4.3 but struggled in other parts of their game or they would have been in the league, but watching Hill in person....fastest I've ever seen.

I get chills to this very day thinking about what he said..
And I also have the honor to meet him a hearing Denver Colorado back to one of his book signings at one of our malls out here.. The book was called Run bullet Run.. he was to me the person I looked up to and I want to be like and run like and play football like as I was growing up he was an amazing man and amazing to watch and whenever Dallas cowboys played on TV I always made sure I've always watched that game..

I am 62 and I ran 440 dash on a cinder track in several meets in 1973 as a 9th grader . The cinder tracks are definitely slower especially if damp. The best I ran that year on the cinder track was a 54.8 . The best on what I call a rubberized asphalt almost new track was a 53.1. I was pretty consistent in most of my times as well as anchoring the mile relay. I would say the difference in times of 1.7 seconds was likely entirely due to the different surfaces. My understanding is that the cinders were from coal fired railroad locomotives but I could definitely be wrong.

Before the 70's all nfl teams ran was man coverage? Interesting fact
For real?
Pretty much. Hayes came in and led the league in receiving TDs his first two seasons and forced teams to play zone, he was a rookie in 1965. But the biggest change by far, probably the single biggest rule change in NFL history, was the 5 yard chuck rule that started in 1978. That is what led to the explosion of zone defenses. Also called the Mel Blount rule. Before then a DB could bump a receiver all over the field until the ball was thrown. Mel Blount would bang on guys and they couldn't get away from him. Watch old clips, guys like him and Lem Barney were masters of the bump and run coverage, heavy on the bump. The NFL wiped that out, suddenly CBs needed to be quick and it didn't matter if they weren't physical or couldn't defend the run. Mel Blount was the best CB in the NFL, the prototype after the rule change was Neon Deion. There was no more contact. But when Hayes played you could try to bang and grab until the pass was thrown
In 1977 2500 passing yards led the NFL (14 games) 179 yard per game. The league average was 142 yards per game. In 1978 the average jumped to 159, then to 180 in 1979. Then 196, 204. Basically in about 3 years passing yards jump by more than 1/3 simply because of that one rule change.
Zone defense existed before Bob Hayes. Vince Lombardi talked about using zones against the Browns in 1965.
Hayes came into the league in 1964.
I had a family member that raced against Bob Hayes. My family member said that the blocks they use at the start flew backwards behind Mr. Hayes when the gun went off. When my family member saw Mr. Haye's blocks fly back, he faked a hami as he didn't want to be embarrassed by losing the race.
How is James Jett not mentioned? He was on the Olympic 4X100 team in 1992.
Because you have to stop and ask yourself, How long did Jett play in the NFL? Was he a camp body or a game-changer like Bullet Bob Hayes? The answer to that is why he's not mentioned here.
@@ODANNEK You're acting like mentioning Jett would somehow take away from Hayes.
ODANNEK Here are the facts. James Jett ran a 6.10 in the 1996 competition, (tying Green’s best time), which gave him the fastest time of all of the ‘90s runners.
Jett outran Carl Lewis in the 1992 100 meter prelims, and won a gold medal as part of the 100 meter relay team. He won another gold medal in 1996 after running the first two rounds of the 4 x 100 relay, but gave up his spot to Carl Lewis (still earned the gold).
Jett had a long career in the NFL playing from 1993-2002 (which is a long career for a speed receiver). He was one of Al Davis’s more successful “speed kills” WRs and retired as the 8th leading WR in Raider’s history. Jett was one of two players from the LA Raiders to still be on the team for Super Bowl 37, (the other was Tim Brown). Jett was also a fan favorite as a Los Angeles Raider.
I think he’s left his mark in both Olympic and NFL history, and as the numbers show, he was certainly one of the fastest to ever play the game. By no means was he a “camp body,” as he was a starter along side Tim Brown for much of his career. You don’t have to be a Raider fan to recognize that.

@@sydboski Faster time doesn't necessarily mean they were faster. Wind and track conditions have a lot to do with times. Darrell did it consistently for decades. He ran down Dorsett, who was a speed demon himself and also Eric Dickerson, one of the NFL's fastest and prolific backs. He also never lost the NFL Fastest Man competition and stayed on top of his game for over 20 years.
@@gavinscott10 If you are the world record holder in the 100m dash who is faster? No one. Why? Because no one has a faster time. Neither Dorsett nor Dickerson had world class speed. Green was out run by Michael Haines from the Falcons and Ron Brown from the Rams. It's not like Green only ran one 100m dash. He ran it plenty of times. He best was 10.08. He never ran faster than that. Maintaining your speed longer in life doesn't make you faster than your best. The reality is there are guys who ran faster than Green did on his best day.

If Bullet Bob kept on training in T&F for another 5 years, he might. The only thing is that he had no competition. Nobody could stay with him.

Please be reminded that the Great Bob Hayes didn't use supplements such as Bonds, Armstrong, or the post-1980 PEDs sprinters.
@@benthekeeshond545 You can say the same for every sprinter that went to the NFL. "IF" they trained another 5 years they might. Who knows? I have heard the rumors and saw the video of Bob's legendary run, but it wasn't 9.65. It was supposedly 8.5 which is also false for 3 reasons.
1. Timing. Relay splits are not official. In 1964 his split would have been hand timed. You know you have to add 0.24 to convert hand time to fully automatic timing.
2. Bob got the stick late in the passing zone. Exactly mid zone is 100m from the finish line. Bob getting the stick late in the zone means he ran less than 100m
3. None of the other anchors out there ran faster than 10.50 in the 100m during the Olympics. None were in the 100m final. One was a long jumper and another was a 400m man. So if Bob rand 8.5 that would put the others around 8.9 which is impossible.
Bob's anchor leg was amazing, but it was closer to 8.9. Today's sprinters run 8.8 - 8.7 Bolt ran 8.65 during the World relays.
You think Bolt took drugs?
I'm gonna go ahead say Bob's a bad man. A great football player and amazing track athlete. Wow. Respect
Rodger Staubach mentioned that Coach Landry called him Staubach even though he was Naval Academy grad, starting QB, Heisman Trophy winner, Vietnam Vet. But, he always Bob Hayes by his first name. When Staubach asked Hayes about it. Hayes just said 9 flat. Wind aided but who cares. He ran a 9.1 official . Haaaaaaaaaaa Go Bullet Bob Hayes!!!!
I thought at the beginning - I wonder if this dude will include Bob Hayes from the way-back machine.
I came into this thinking Darrell green was the fastest football player but kto said HOLD MY BEER, great vid as always browns lover
I don’t have any more to go with tomorrow
I wish they would run the 40 and other combine events with pads on. My brother had a 4.5 40 and was considered second fastest on the team yet with pads on he still had a 4.5 40 and all of a sudden was the fastest player on the field no doubt. It would be cool to see it happen but it's not as entertaining for sure.
The 40 was chosen because of the punt distance at the time. Now a 50 makes more sense by that logic, but almost any distance can be argued
Bob Hayes changed defenses with his speed!! That’s insane.
4.09? 4.09 folks ....when I saw him RUN DOWN Marcus Allen, Erik Dickerson AND WILLIE GAULT (Olympic speed) I was convinced Darrell Green was fast. He'll always be #1 in my book. Especially football speed. Love the video.
he also ran down Tony Dorsett
This makes me appreciate (even more) how fast world class sprinters are compared to NFL burners.
Though u gotta account for how much bigger nfl players are and how they’re not built just to run in a straight line
That's right!
Dude I love that you can make this so consistently and so well.
I ran on a cinder track in high school! All weather tracks are SO MUCH FASTER! 10.06 is PHENOMENAL!
What about 10.03?
Lmao my highschool still has a cinder track
Noah Falkenthal haha don’t fall! Not fun!
Without even watching, Vince Wilfork
i was a Bob Hayes fan..he was incredible ,,i think the fastest of all-time.,but thats my opinion.. But i did watch him whenever i could..just like Wilt..superhuman too.
Imagine back in the days...Your coach tells you that TODAY you're going to be covering the 'bullet'...I would be terrified. I would yell, ' HOW THE HELL ARE YOU SUPPOSE TO STOP A BULLET?...YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING, COACH ' lol
I LOVE YOUR VIDS! Don't lose hope in making the great videos!😄
Marquise goodwin is one of the fastest players in the nfl currently :)
EeEmEyeElWhy thank you finally someone. He was in the Olympics
Darryl Green is the fastest I've seen on film. He ran down Randy Moss once. 😂😂
When and where did that happen?
Darrell Green is the fastest human I have ever seen wearing football pads
T T Moore Back in the early 90’s I met him at his training camp in Carlisle, Pa. Wish I had a camera back then bc I remember them racing & timing him & I believe that might be one of those times he set a record.
John Pottorgg This was back in the early 90’s & I was like 11 but I remember it was at Dickinson college & yes it was timed but I don’t think there were any officials there but I remember the crowd getting all excited bc someone announced that Green had set a all new record.
Just looking at the title of the video, before watching it, two names popped into my head: Tyreek Hill, currently, but historically -- Bob Hayes. Hayes would have been the first choice of anyone old enough to remember having watched him. After all, he was an Olympic champion, the world record holder in the 100-meter dash, and was always referred to as the World's Fastest Man. He was on the field to do one thing: stretch coverages by always being a threat to score.
What about Jim Hines who broke Hayes' record?

But, s, the subject is fastest FOOTBALL players. People who actually had a career in the NFL and impacted games. Hines played briefly, but he was strictly a short-lived gimmick without real skills, who was drafted as a speculative project that didn't pan out. No one game-planned for Jim Hines.
@@rickrose5377 Did he play in the NFL? Yes. On his tax return for 1969 and 1970 what was his occupation? NFL player. Ok, he sucked. But he made it through not one but two training camps, and actually got in some games. He was an NFL player just not a good one. Btw the title says fastest NFL players not fastest football players.
@@sydboski
syd, it's nor worth quibbling over, but I think the guy behind this channel -- behind KTO, I mean -- stipulates near the beginning of the video, that he's talking about actual players, not oddities. If it isn't in this video, it's in one of the series of related videos like 'Biggest' or 'Strongest' player.
