Alvin Kamara, Ted Ginn and many other NFL players to race in 40-yard dash tournament

Almost two dozen current NFL players are set to race each other in an upcoming 40-yard dash tournament to determine the fastest man in professional football.
That's according to 40 Yards of Gold, which is dedicated to showcasing speed in everything from Pop Warner to the pros, according to the website, and features a roster of NFL player partners who've been crowned "Speed Gods." On June 29, the group announced this week, it will host a "one-night extravaganza" featuring some of football's fastest, as voted on by fans, running parallel 40-yard dashes in a tournament-style competition.

They neglected to invite me to run. I would say that it is their loss but now they have a chance to win.

All my rugby buddies think I'm fast. Actually, I'm deceptively slow...….

Be careful to all that will compete.

Last thing we need is a "pulled hammy" at a non football related sporting event.

This is kinda dumb with the risk of being injured.

After the 40 yd dash the players will crash bi-planes into burning houses!! What happened to the "I better sit the bowl game out, don't want to get injured" mentality?

I think it’s a fun idea. Players normally have way too much pride to risk losing a race like this so good for these guys! I’m excited to see it.
