Rich Eisen runs the 40yd dash video

[ddaryl]

I didn't know which forum to stick this in, but felt it would get the most views here... and we need a few threads to kill the next 36 hours until FA starts

here's the link to the video

This is pretty hillarious. Fast forward to the 2nd half and they super impose other combine players against Eisens best time.

Definitely worth watching if you haven't seen it already. You will get a chuckle out of it

The tie has to cause a lot of drag. He'd easily average a 6.51 without the tie.

Hilarious...he needed a six yard lead just to tie Raji. He did score pretty high on the wonderlic though. (35)

a 6.5 1st run and a 6.34 2nd run I do beleive

but it was the super imposed players they compared him to that made it entertaining

Hey there's the answer for tight end. He looks like a 1st rounder there.

I was watching it this morning and laughed so damn loud. When they kept giving him head starts against the heavy guy I was losing it...

Re: Rich Eisen runs the 40yd dash video

That is hilarious....lol

It makes me wonder how fast I'd be. I'm a grad student who doesn't get to exercise very much, but I have a great metabolism and I am very small. Wonder if I'd need a head start against BJ Raji.

It also makes you realize how athletic those guys are, even the big ones. I mean, we look at a 5.5 40 time with scorn, but that's still pretty fast compared to what regular Joes can run.

^^^^^

Yeah it would be cool to super impose all of the top Billszone posters 40yd dashes with the top prospects and see how it looks...

maybe a few of us could beat Eisen

just for a reference, i played football through highschool. In 7th grade i was 145, at barely 5'. i was short and fat. I was an Olineman, and ran a 5.5.

by the time i was in 10th grade, i was about 6'1" and 165 and was playing TE. I ran a 5.0.

by my last year, i was 6'2" and 170 and playing wr. The best time i ever ran was a 4.8 on a hand clock. I was not fast in comparison to some of the other guys out there.. i was a "possession receiver" with average hands.

15 years later, i am 6'2" 200 lbs.. and i play hockey 3 times a week at least. i would be willing to be that i could run a 4.8-4.9 still.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. I never played football because I went to a private school that never had a team. I did play basketball and soccer, and I'm still pretty small and quick. But I'm not a long-distance runner, just a quick guy who runs out of breath very quickly.

I'm 5'8" and about 130-140 pounds, but I have no idea how fast I could run it. I'd like to try sometime.

Re: Rich Eisen runs the 40yd dash video

running out of breath quick doesnt matter.. you can run the 40 full go and not slow down. even if you are out of shape. if you are small and quick you could beat my time im sure, because i am not fast.. im not slow.. but i am no track star.

That's what I figured, but it's been so long since I've run. It would be pretty cool to get people together from the MB and see what our 40 times are haha.
