Reggie Bush 40 Yard Dash - Fastest 4.33?
January 22, 2008 by Jimson Lee
Everyone talks about the fastest 40 yard dash time. The fastest 40 yard I recall was the “4.17″ by Deion Sanders. If that is a hand time, that makes 4.2 (rounded up) or 4.44 FAT (by adding 0.24 from hand to FAT)

Fastest 40 yard dash ever?
Fast forward 33 seconds into the video. And, of course, ignore the comments and responses from YouTube.
In this video, Reggie Bush records a 4.33 for the 40 Yard Dash (as marked by the black cones) running on a track surface, possibly with spikes. Some of the questionable times were on grass or astroturf.
What do you think contributed to his time? Raw speed and genetics? Do you really think he hired a personal coach to run a faster 40 yard dash?
This could be the fastest 40 yard dash ever recorded on camera. I’ll start digging. This could be fun.

If that is a 4.33, than with training he could go about 4.12.
Even someone with poor running skills would not take four steps in 5 yards.
He should take about 3, but becuase of his start, his first step is in place with no horizontal hip movement.
He is holding his head down and bending at the waist versus having a forward lean and staying low.
He sway side to side, his arm movement is poor. A lot of wasted energy. He also run flat footed and has very long ground contact times.
If he did run a legit 4.33 , I would find it hard that he would have ran a slow time at his pro day, you know how bad that would have looked for USC and for him, then is is all raw speed.
If he paid to be trained he should get a refund becuase the training he received had nothing to do with the time that he ran.
I still think “Rocket” Raghib Ismail of Notre Dame was “one” of the fastest.
He ran 6.07 for 55 meters in Jan 1991, and Lee McRae (a true sprinter) of Pittsburgh holds the world record at 6.00 seconds set in 1986.
Rumour has his 40 yard times at 4.05, 4.16 and 4.24 (source: Google)
Of course, no videos or details are present!
Yea Rocket was fast, he went to Penn Relays and got blasted in the 100, but he still ran a nice 10.40.
Also don’t forget Ray Caruth the ex Buff and I think Carolina Panther WR,
there is a video of him running 4.29 at the CU Fieldhouse.
I race Ray in a 55 up at the Air Force Academy and no way was he capable of going 4.29.
I think that day I ran 6.31 for 55 and he ran 6.27, of course the race winner was Randall Evans, he ran 6.17 he is also the 1994 DII national Champion in the 100m.
I was never ever close to going 4.29 in a 40 yard dash.
Correction on Rae Carruth name spelling and 40 time.
“Carruth is a burner and has incredible quickness in the open field and off of the line. Few NFL defensive backs will be able to keep up with him. He has been clocked at 4.17 in the 40. He can accelerate faster then any college receiver in recent history.”
more on Rae Carruth from Dec 18, 1995
“Junior Rae Carruth, who became the fifth Colorado receiver to surpass 50 catches in a season (53) and the fourth to reach 1,000 receiving yards (1,008). With a 4.29-second 40-yard dash timing, Carruth is the Buffs’ fastest player.”
He went from 4.29 as a junior to 4.17 as a senior now that is amazing. This is his 55m time from the CU record book
6.29 Rae Carruth 1/28/95 Rocky Mountain Cup
It also shows a 6.20 55m time from 1993.
55m is about 60 yards, had to imagine him taking almost 2 second to go that addition 20 yards. Talking about slowing down.
