Chris Johnson says he'd beat Usain Bolt in a 50m race.

Link

And another NFL player thinks he'd beat him in a 100m race.

I think some people don't understand how fast Usain Bolt really is. There's a very good read in the last ESPN mag about Usain Bolt and the fact that, at his size, he's not supposed to come out of the gates that fast, that it'd be impressive if he was 7th after 10m, yet he's second after 10m, first after 20m up to 200m and probably beyond.His start is as fast a men 5 inches smaller, which is somewhat superhuman. There's another expert who once said Bolt would probably beat 4.00 in the 40 yard dash. Easily, more like 3.80. I won't go as low as 3.80, but 4.00, definitely.

I think Chris Johnson, as fast as he is, is completely nuts if he really thinks that. I doubt he could break 10.5 seconds, let alone 10 seconds.

What say you?

Chris Johnson is an idiot, Usain Bolt isn't the fastest man in the world for no reason.... He'd smoke Chris.

Chris Johnson is what I like to call a numbnut

To be young and dumb in the NFL. :)

I don't think it's possible for a human to run faster than like 4.1 or 4.2 in the 40. If you watch his races closely, he doesn't truly start to pull away until 15-20 meters in.GamerForca

I'm confused. Nowhere in that link does the name Usain Bolt appear.

I would pay to see pre-nfl ted ginn jr vs Bolt....that would be awesome to watch.

Teddy had a top gear like no other in college. I'm sure bolt would win, but i'd bet it be interesting.

Only some players though, and annoyingly, those are the ones that stand out.

Oh, and Bolt would crush him.

you are right i incorrectly labeled the vocal minority as the majority. Dudes an idiot though, and i stand by that.

I only got chris johnson if bolt give johnson a head start

So Rondo thinks he can beat Johnson in a race. Johnson says he can beat Bolt...Hypothetically that makes Rondo the fastest man in the world :lol:

Ben Johnson, Donovan Bailey, Maurice Green and Dwayne Chambers would all beat Chris Johnson. He would seriously put his name in with Usain. What a dummy.

Give Chris a red bull and he could beat Bolt in a 50m race

I don't know what's more crazy, Chris Johnson saying he can beat Bolt or the two votes saying that he can win.ASK_Story

usain bolt reached a top speed of 35 mph.... winner...usain boltchAzN93

Maybe just a publicity thing...I'm sure it would be close for a 50, but Usain has a great start too.

In his dreams maybe.:lol: Stick to your day job CJ. You're pretty good at that.
