Who would win in a 40 yard dash?

Question

Antonio Cromartie or Devin Hester?

Answer 1

Cromartie has a better combination of size and speed, but Hester would win a close one.

Answer 2

Devin Hester barely made it to the endzone on the opening kick off in the superbowl. Two colts caught him from behind as he crossed the endzone.

There are at least two dozen guys that can run sub 4.2 40's in the NFL currently. Hester has a number of other athletic gifts that allow him to be a supersar as a KR.  Exceptional SPEED is just ONE COMPONENT of his success. It is the combination of these talents that will put him in the history books, not his speed.

As far as raw speed...he is merely a face in a crowd of many...especially over the whole history of the NFL

Alexander Wright (Cowboys/Raiders) and Darrell Green recorded the fastest 40's in any NFL raining camp ever at 4.09

Deangelo Hall is the official NFL fastest man currently.

Those of you who think Hester is the fastest ever, need to put your face in a history book and get some learnin.

James Jett

Sam Graddy (part of Carl Lewis' world record relay team)

Renaldo Neimiah

Bob Hayes (set a then world record in 100 yard dash 9.1)

These guys were Olympic sprinters....and all significantly faster than Devin Hester.

Hester's KR style reminds me more of Rocket Ismail than he does Neon Sanders.

plenty of people have said those guys " were the fastest players they ever played against" too.

Devin would win a race with Cromartie...but there are those who would, and could beat Devin...in a foot race.

Answer 3

Alot of NFL players have said that Devin Hester is the fastest guy they have ever played with or against.. To all of you Dieon Sander fans, I know its hard to admit but, Devin Hester is the fastest player ever in the NFL.. So, yeah, I think Devin would beat Cromartie

Answer 4

Hester

Answer 5

Devin Hester

Answer 6

Devin Hester.

The guy is a speed demon.

Cromartie is very fast too, but Hester is faster

Answer 7

idk dude good race, but Devin Hester

Answer 8

i agree about the darrell green comment even though his time is considered unofficial since it was prior to 1990...but guys like galloway, moss, and more recently ted ginn are among the fastest times ran  

Answer 9

Devin Hester it'd be close though

Answer 10

LADANIAN TOMLINSON!!!!!

Answer 11

Hester, he ran a 4.3 Cromartie ran a 4.4

Answer 12

Devin Hester would win this hands down, if he wasnt playing football i bet he would be in the Olympics right this minute running something.
