Darrell Green Runs a 4.4 at 50

[scpanther22]

Nothing else to talk about..lol

The Hall of Famer said that he celebrated his 50th birthday by testing out his jets. If he's to be believed, it appears as though the afterburners still work just fine.

"Quick update from the Birthday Boy," he wrote on his Twitter page. "I think today I became the fastest 50 year old in the world! @9AM today, I celebrated my 50th BDay ... by running the 40 yard dash in Orlando, Florida in a time of 4.43!

Please do understand that it is not me thats great, but the Holy God of the universe that has blessed me!" he wrote on his Twitter page. "I can do ALL things through Him."

They must have started the timer when he hit the 10 yard line. He couldn't run a 4.4 when he left the league.

Greatest CB of all time!!!

Oh yes he could.....

[STIFFPAWED]

At age 40 he was still running a 4.2

If you watch some of those old NFL challenge competitions you will see all the young guys wanting to take a shot at beating Green.

Actually its Rod Woodson but the former Redskin fan in me will always think of Green.

Come on, man. I was a Steelers guy (a Woodson guy), and I was not particularly fond of Sanders, but after watching the man talk the talk and walk the walk---shutting down the likes of Jerry Rice---I have to give him his due.

If QBs dared throw his way, he was an every play threat to take it to the house.

Green would definitely be in my top 5, as well as Woodson.

If what Green says is true, he would dust Sanders right now. Sanders looked kind of Stupid on his reality show, riding around the house on his little motorized scooter. He has a hot wife, though.

Green > Sanders because Green covered almost as well and actually played the run and tackled.

Note, they are talking about a 40 yard dash,not a 4 yard dash.
