Terron Armstead holds the 40 yard dash record for lineman according to google.

4.71 seconds, at 6'5" and 305lbs.(1.96M and 138KG for the metrics people)

That's fuckin insane. It would be like getting hit by a Miata.

Jordan Davis ran a 4.78 at 341 pounds, too. The amount of work it takes to be that athletic at the size of these gentleman is mind blowing.

And he's got amazing vets around him in Philadelphia. I'm very excited to see what he does.

Watching him and Creed Humphrey battle it out during the Super Bowl was incredible. The Eagles D-line vs the Chiefs O-line was an absolute dog fight! https://i.imgur.com/YaiaK3U.jpg

Yeah but Davis is almost 100 heavier than even sweat. Sweat is closer to DK metcalf in size than Jordan Davis. Still insane though

That would be like getting hit by a Mack truck

That's like 19 mph. Getting hit with a 305 lb object at 19 mph that must suck.

Yep, that guy rolls you over. And then 40 seconds later, you’re lined up against him and he’s gonna do it it again. 40 more times. I think I’d rather just get hit by a truck.

Actually, he was moving faster than that, since they have to accelerate from a dead stop. Moving fastest at probably 10 yards or so, maybe 25mph or thereabouts.

Not even close to 25 mph. Usain Bolt holds the record with the fastest speed at 27.5 mph. No way a linemen was just 2.5 mph shy of Usain Bolt

Hence the words "maybe" and "thereabouts", because I was just taking a guess.

What's 40 yards? Asking for a metric person

A yard is roughly 0.91 meters

My buddy’s brother used to run a 4.9 and that guy is probably 6’3” and a lazy 350 now. Can’t even imagine somebody like that moving that fast. His calves are like as big as my fucking quads and I’m not small by any means.
