Alright, so the other day, I got thinking about pure speed in the NFL. You know, who’s really the fastest? Naturally, Tyreek Hill’s name popped into my head almost immediately. I’ve seen the highlights, the guy’s just a blur. But I realized I didn’t actually know his official 40-yard dash time off the top of my head.
My Search Process
So, I decided to look it up. First thing I did was just grab my phone and open up a search engine. My go-to usually.
I typed in something simple first, like:
- tyreek hill 40 time
That brought up a bunch of results right away. Lots of articles, sports site stats, forum discussions. It’s clearly a popular topic.
Sorting Through the Numbers
Now, here’s where it got a little interesting. I saw a few different numbers floating around. Sometimes you see that with players – unofficial times, Combine times (though I remembered Hill didn’t run at the main NFL Combine), and Pro Day times.
I specifically looked for what seemed most credible or most often cited. The key seemed to be his Pro Day at West Alabama back in 2016. That event is where scouts time players outside of the official NFL Combine.
Digging a bit deeper, I kept seeing the same time mentioned repeatedly in connection with that Pro Day.
The Result I Found
The number that consistently came up for Tyreek Hill’s 40-yard dash at his Pro Day was 4.29 seconds.
Think about that for a second. 4.29. That’s absolutely blazing fast. It puts him among the fastest recorded times ever for football players. Seeing that number really puts his on-field speed into perspective. It’s not just “looks fast on TV” speed, it’s verified, stopwatch-confirmed elite speed.
So yeah, that was my little investigation. Started with a simple curiosity, did a quick search, sorted through the info, and landed on that 4.29 figure from his Pro Day. Crazy fast.
