Darrell Green at 50 still runs a 4.43 40

Think I ran a 4.6 when I was 17. Maybe could do a 5.5 now.

I'd love to see him back on the field. They should let him suit up for a preseason game or something for old times sake.

freak of nature athlete....the opposite of "phailed phuckin atha-lete"

Nice catch!

Green predicted it a long time ago, question was something like if he will play in the NFL as long as he can run 4.4, and he said he would be able to do that when he was 50 and would retire way before then.

Closer to reality there.

....and you guys laughed at me when I said at 49 I could beat Dallas Clark in a 50 yard dash.

Green's man would have a field day against him in today's game, I say minimum of 150 yds.

Guy is way too old

I'm sure there's a link somewhere re-telling the story, but it was originally said on his twitter account, no video though.

seaborneq · 03-10-10, 08:28 AM

It was said on ESPN's first take during an interview with Skins DB Deangelo Hall.

This is a bit of a step down from the 40 he ran 10 years ago though

Patrick McIrish · 03-10-10, 08:46 AM

I ran a low 4 in Biloxi a few years back, I was flying, this at about 290 pounds. Was a bitch to clean up though once Katrina left....
