did odell beckham jr. run a 4.31?

but players will often refer to their fastest time overall.

4.31 was probably run at his pro day or some other LSU activity, and the non-Combines times are notoriously faster.

still plenty fast..

his official 40 at the Combines was 4.43 and he apparently ran an unofficial 4.31 ...

OBJ has lead feet compared to SB's 4.4.

but it’s clear to my eyes that OBJ’s uniqueness is his ability to get to top end speed quicker than anyone I’ve seen since Deion.

That is why he’s the threat every time. His initial burst creates instant separation that just overwhelms defenders.

So whether he’s 4.31 or 4.43, both are high quality, it’s less relevant than his god given ability in that first five yards.

Agreed. It is his quickness more than flat-out speed that makes him elite. Don't get me wrong, he is very fast, but he is arguably the quickest player in the league.

4.31 the first time and 4.40 the second time... but apparently the time they post when you watch it live is unofficial... and it came back as a 4.43 which we all know is probably bullshit... the NFL network official time is not the official time the Giants recorded so it’s anyones guess... we all know Beckham has one of the very best game speed’s we have ever seen in a blue uniform.

And pro days are fun - but there are plenty of track stars that can't play a lick of football.

But show me in pads... carrying the ball...

Wonder what his 40 time is today?

4.31 or 4.43 - with a football in his hands and just a squeeze of green daylight in front of him no one is going to catch him.

I've never seen anyone run him down from behind, so his speed must be good enough.

field. Once he gets a step on you, its over. Might as well save your energy for the next play.

ankle apparently dangling for eternity, I'd be surprised if he can hop to a 6.70 time.....

Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Odell Beckham will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster.

Running on a track and in a live football game is like the difference between fighting in a padded octagon in your underwear and fighting in the streets. Maybe fighting in your swimsuit on a beach is similar.

If they had a race,I'd bet on OBJ despite the combine times.

False! If OBJ and Barkley ran as fast as they can, next to each other, the force of their awesomeness would change the rotation of the Earth, either causing us all to move into the future or the past, depending on which way they were running.

they don't make us revisit last season!!!

side-by-side simulcast of their combine 40 yard dash... and Saquon came out ahead?

But also harder to measure accurately

Odell’s acceleration is off the charts. He regularly splits defenders like nobody else in the league

Is hard to believe. He is pretty obviously the fastest guy on the field in almost every game he plays. He makes DBs who run in the 4.4s look like they're standing still. If he doesn't run low 4.3s no one ever has.

What is the fucking point of this, we need to find out if he is fast? LOL, unreal.

How fast is he now ? Just coming back from missing the whole season with a leg injury s a huge question. His ability to beat coverage and get separation is huge. Does he still have it or not is the big question. We know he was all world before but is he now??? Wants QB $$$ is he worth it ? DG will have to make that call. What is his 40 and three cone times now. Big decisions here. Hope he still has it.

slower than my unofficial time.
