BigRedMan Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Theres a topic on the BRR.com board that Roy Helu ran a 4.25 40 during conditioning. Does anybosy know if thats true? Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 If this is true, can you say toss sweep? Have we ever even had a RB remotely close to this speed before? At this juncture, I'd take a 4.45. Quote Link to comment

At this juncture, I'd take a 4.45. Ever heard of this guy they called Ahman??? Just kidding, but he was a speed demon. I don't remember the exact time, but he was tied for the fastest time in the entire league as an NFL rookie in Seattle if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment
junior4949 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Even Ahman never came close to a 4.25 while at Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
In the Deed the Glory Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Even Ahman never came close to a 4.25 while at Nebraska. that's because then they ran on the turf, now they run on a track. He ran sub 4.25 in the NFL, and would have the 100 m state record by more than .4 if not for wind aid. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Helu is shifty, but no way he runs a 4.25. I'd bet he is closer to 4.6 than 4.2. Quote Link to comment

BigRedWeatherman Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well Chris Johnson who plays for the Titans set the 40 combine record (since electronic timing started in 1990) with a 4.24 (which was also was the fastest time for an NFL RB) I know that Ahman Green never ran that fast, and I seriously doubt Helu does either. But if he does, watch out. Quote Link to comment

Axl_sued_me Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Remember when Helu got ran down by that Iowa State player last year? Quote Link to comment
95huskers Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Remember when Helu got ran down by that Iowa State player last year? the word is that he has put on 15 or so lbs and is quicker but not 4.25 Quote Link to comment
Pedro Guerrero Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I am calling B.S. on this one considering his High School time was 4.62. People can get faster but I doubt he dropped to 4.25. Quote Link to comment
