The Twittersphere exploded when the NFL draft combine zombies went crazy about OU quarterback Jalen Hurts’ 40 yard dash time of 4.59, who was the fastest quarterback.
Despite Hurts’ quick time, retired recipient GOAT Jerry Rice stole the show by attending a 40-yard Dash charity event at the 2020 NFL Combine.
As part of Rich Eisen’s from the NFL Network #RunRichRun Rice went out there and ran his first 40-yard dash since his own NFL combine in 1985.
To top it off, Rice wore a “GOAT” sweatshirt and a matching pair of studs.
Still have it. @ JerryRice is running the 40 yard dash! #NFLCombine | #RunRichRun pic.twitter.com/7r69XRjWL7

For a man who was considered one of the “slower” receivers in terms of sheer speed in the 90s, Rice was moving pretty well for his age.
Hall of Fame cornerback and NFL network analyst Deion Sanders is one of the fastest players in NFL history and has ripped off Rice’s start. But I would like to see who would win a race between Rice and Neon Deion now.
While Rice’s speed is far from being dictated, it appears he hasn’t given up on any of his legendary exercise habits since retiring in 2005.
While no official results from Rice’s 1985 combines have been released, The athlete Bob McGinn reported last year that a scout in possession of the official results said Rice had hit 4.58 at the time.
Good to see The GOAT is out there, still mobile and able to turn it up when needed.
