Matt Bolling.

I guess John Ross is focusing on actually being a football player

With DRC on the circuit, there is guaranteed to be 2 hammys strained.

Mark Ingram?

Is he known as a speedster?

What Is Tim Carter Doing These Days?

Trainmaster : 5/23/2019 2:08 pm : link

I�d rather have him there than a current player.

They were airing old QB challenge on NFLN

ron mexico : 5/23/2019 2:09 pm : link

I was thinking to myself they could never pull something like that off today.

I guess I was wrong.

This is cool

jtfuoco : 5/23/2019 2:09 pm : link

But its something that should be done back during the Pro bowl or in the dead month of Feb. I wonder who the surprise guest will be that show up I would love it if Usain Bolt showed up.

Screw it

Ingram??

chilly460 : 5/23/2019 2:21 pm : link

He ran a 4.62 at the combine, makes zero sense why he'd get an invite

Not a great list

Nine-Tails : 5/23/2019 2:23 pm : link

Ingram and Kamara? Didn't both have over 4.5. Though I want to see DRC's time at this point of his career.

Wrong Coleman.

40 yard dash

dtman1 : 5/23/2019 4:21 pm : link

Corey Coleman clocked a blazing 4.37 40 at his Baylor pro day before he was drafted.

You got me.

Ira : 5/23/2019 4:21 pm : link

Guilty as charged.

Coleman, Slayton, Ballentine (healthy), and Barkley

BlueLou'sBack : 5/23/2019 6:05 pm : link

could all win with a good start. The key to winning a 40, obviously besides simply being fast, is the start. Unlike 100 meters, you really can't make up for getting out of the blocks sub-optimally. Or "off the line."

That's why Mario Manningham, posted like a 4.7 at the combine, but then a 4.38 at his pro day. His real speed was a lot closer to the 4.38 time... But that bad combine 40 is how we got him with the last pick of the 3rd round, probably.

Remember the old show Superstars?

I couldn't imagine major sports franchises letting any player take part in something like that now.

They used to do

The NFL's fastest man and strongest man and it was awesome.
