In 2010, Darrell Green ran the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds. That's impressive when you consider that he was 50 in 2010 and 8 years removed from his final NFL game after 20 seasons in the league.
I always hear how Darrell Green didn't have any Olympic metals...but he raced and beat all of the members of that years team to include: Willlie Gault and Ron Brown, actually the only person that ever came close to him in a 40 race was Phillip Epps of the Green Bay Packers, it was a photo finish, Darrrel Green was the fastest ever!
Kenny Everett you are 100 percent correct. He beat Epps 4.13 to 4.15. closest finish I have ever seen. They did a photo finish. The year was 1983. I watched it on ABC. Epps could really fly.
Scott Davidson You do realize that the competition did not start till 1986. The race you are referring to was a preliminary heat it was a photo finish. But the Photo finish with Ron Brown in 1991 was in the final.
Wow, really?? It's too bad players don't play both offense & defense. That'd be neat to see him playing offense & making a fool of whoever was defending him.
One of those California guys was the roommate of actor Tiny Lister. Deebo from Friday he talked about him and that he lost to future NFL star Darrell Green..Tiny was in the discus
I use to swear Darrell Green was faster than Bob Hayes in both track and football speed, but research and times prove Hayes at the very least had had faster track speed. There’s just no debate on that front. Track speed I think Gault, Greene, and Branch were too equally matched to tell any difference. But Greene probably has fastest game speed ever.
He was always the fastest guy, and it also seemed as though he was always the OLDEST guy in the NFL as well (rare defensive player playing into his 40s).
Anthony Schwartz is another name to look out for. WR for Auburn who had faster numbers than Green. Not sure if he will be drafted in 21 or 22. He is even faster than Tyreek Hill. Look out for this kid.
@@bestsportsgamessimulation-9187 Herschel did best Green in a 100 race but Green ran the 200:prior to that and was gassed, in the 88 comp Green beat Herschel in the 60 meters, 40 yards or 60 meters Green was hard to beat
bboohhmmaann ...no way nearly as fast in his dam 50s.. what the hell you dudes smoking...an these idiot announcers dont even give you his time...what incompetence....
It's funny that you would mention that. Years ago this guy was arrested at some bar in Oakland, CA. The cops just grabbed everyone they could and that included some people who weren't involved in some ruckus. He was one of a the few who didn't try to run away from the cops as they said they were just bystanders. He told the judge that he didn't do anything and there was no way any of the cops who were there that night would have chased him down. Well the judge was open to different ideas to prove someone is innocent or not. The judge had the guy race against the arresting officer and sure enough he just ran away from the cop at the "competition". The guy was a sprinter in high school and he had made it to the finals at the state track meet. Someone can think they're fast like that cop did but real sprinters are on a different playing field. BTW the judge released him.
They had no coaching lol, their shoes sucked and the track was shit. Green would run 9.95 if he ran in modern shoes on a modern track just with those changes, if he training for it he would be one of the best of all time.
In 1973 or something like that I was in a track meet and the wind was from one particular direction at some unknown speed and I sprinted to the fastest time in the personnel time and dominated my performance against best time I’d ever done on it 🫡
And 26 years later, Darrell Green was inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a member of the Washington Redskins.

Adam that was faster than any DB at the NFL Combine!!!!!
I cannot locate that D. Green 4.43 40 yard @ 50 yrs old video anywhere. I loved D.G., where did u c the video of that?
jo schmo right 😭
jo schmo right. Where’s the proof
There is a video of him running 4.2 @ age 40.
Darrell Green, a man with a future. Man I loved watching him play at Washington

Green got beaten in the 100 by Herschel Walker in the Superstars competition.
Is on RUclips
@@natureboy1313 That is true. But Green's best 100m is still faster than Walker's. 10.08 to 10.23.
Epps was my teammate at TCU. He never worked out. He only did grass strides. Nothing more
Green can still run faster than most NFL players.
+Daria Karimian probably
He ran 4.43 at age 50. I would imagine he could still do a sub-4.5 at 58.
Yeah, but he never broke 10.
@@johmcg64 only ran in sophmore and junior years never took it real serous still 10.08 is hella fast for 20yr old and playing football too GOAT
Darrell green an absolute monster on the field! I miss them days!
Any film sources showing his speed?
I will never forget seeing Darrell Green chase down 2 of the fastest running backs in NFL history Tony Dorsett and Eric Dickerson from behind
Wow, really?? It's too bad players don't play both offense & defense.
That'd be neat to see him playing offense & making a fool of whoever
was defending him.
AT 50 YEARS OLD AND RAN A 4.3 /AWSOME!/4/19/22/
Joe , so did I.Green was one of my favorite players on Washington Skins .
Its so weird to see Darrell Green and he isn't the smallest guy in the shot.
Daryl Green is freakin awesome!
Darrell Green said the fastest wr he played against was Roy Green of Cardinal. Loved their matchup
Green went to college with my parents and I live right next to TAMUK (then Texas A&I Kingsville). Very cool.
parks I miss the A&I vs SWT at Evans Stadium :(
Curious how fast Green could run backwards. Deion clocked in at 4.57. That is SICK!!!
I heard this rumor before but is there any proof of this?
Fake story.
That’s physically impossible lmao
Yeah but Green was great and Deion was a PUSSY.
Fake News

After church around 2003, Boston area, Darrell Green told me Renaldo Nehemiah was faster than him. Real humble guy and great preacher too.

game speed its him or moss
Funny you mentioned Cliff Branch & Darrell Green. They are both from Houston and their high schools are like 5 miles apart.
Herschel Walker smoked Green in the 100 in the NFL's fastest man contest.@@BeDettFree
darrell green ran a reported 4.45 at 58
He was always the fastest guy, and it also seemed as though he was always the OLDEST guy in the NFL as well (rare defensive player playing into his 40s).
I heard he lowered that to a 4.3 even though he weighs 240 lbs and may be going after Willie Gaults sprint records for seniors.
jo schmo Darrel Green at 5'8 was 240???
Why they didnt show the time he ran
ESPN was in its infancy.
The only guy I saw Stay with Green was Phillip Epps from Green Bay. It was soon close.
Funny how the start has changed since then. Now you leap off the blocks. Here they just ran out.
Darrel Green had great football skills as well. If it were just speed Lucky Smith would have been drafted by the Saints.
None of these runners look 18 to 21 years old. They look closer to 25 to 30
Guys looked older then Even high school guys looked .
no mention of his time
The only thing we know it was slower the 10.00 ..... because these division 2 announcers would have said that.
Is lane 1 warming up in a shirt with Snoopy and a beer mug?
no times? whats the matter with these people?
10.08 was his time
What r the times?
My Homeboy Ellison Portis which is the Late Cedric Benson beat Darrell Greene in College. He also attended Angelo St
Albert Lawerence a teammate in 1983.
Did they ever show the times?
I wonder what the 2nd place cal st. Guy thinks
Nickname was Chili. Everybody knew about Chili.
Well, what was his time???
Actual Video starts @ 3:18
Anthony Schwartz is another name to look out for. WR for Auburn who had faster numbers than Green. Not sure if he will be drafted in 21 or 22. He is even faster than Tyreek Hill. Look out for this kid.
Tyreek Hill was never as fast as Green was.
These guys dont look 18 to 21 years old
Facts 😂
Lucky Smith looks like he’s 40 with that hair line.😂
This was D2 also sheesh
Thank you sooo much for giving us the winning time! Loser
Nothing in 1,2 and 2nd to the last and last row wins olympic and world gold medal if I'm not mistaken.
WHAT ABOUT BO?
Herschel Walker beat Green before on the superstars show.
I've seen guys pull away from Green on the football field, Michael Haynes, Ron Brown. (I know green caught Brown by surprise in a 60 without pads)
Really? I saw Green beat Herschel in the superstar competition
@@bestsportsgamessimulation-9187 Herschel did best Green in a 100 race but Green ran the 200:prior to that and was gassed, in the 88 comp Green beat Herschel in the 60 meters, 40 yards or 60 meters Green was hard to beat
@@kennyeverett318 Herschel was twice his size bahahahaha....he was a dump truck!!!!!!!
Green beat Herschel everytime
Is this his 10.08 PB/PR?
Nah. He ran the 10.08 in 1983.
Well what was the time?
What was his time?!!!
Wow 45.6 split on the 4x4 relay he was flying!!!!!!!!!
What was his time?
What in the hell was the time?
even nearly as fast in his 50's
get real
AngelsTakeMe2Heaven He can run faster than most of the NFL today!
yes sir

cool
way faster then deion sanders matter of fact hes issued challenges to prime ,of course he declined them
Chump
Sanders had greater reflexes and would have an edge at beginning of 40, but Green would catch him. Deion ran a 10.23 100m which is fast.
@@manuelpacheco5394 Sanders best was 10.26. Green's best was 10.08.
@@sydboski thank you. I have always wondered and suspected that Darrell would beat prime.
There are a lot of guys who ran faster than Prime. Only 7 ran faster than Green.
I think Marcus Dupree could take em all
Maurice Green brother?
I'm sorry, I do not know.
No, they had different last names. This was Darrell GREEN, the other was Maurice GREENE.
Yeah Darrell was Maurice's great grand hermaphrodite uncle's sisters brothers neighbor's God mother's gay niece!
Ay Angelo State my alma-mater!
Looks just like najee harris
@1:55 When they were focusing on Holmes -- those legs dancing behind him. The spring just seems unnatural. lo and behold, yup that's Green.

Green never ran as a freshman and Green never took a steroids test
Steroid test for what
Not a fast time.
she betta hab my money man.
About 2 minutes in and you'll see Green run down Tony Dorsett and then Eric Dickerson: ruclips.net/video/eJLB67d75GA/видео.html
Holmes got a horrible start. That sucked. He'd of won.
And I bet my life savings that none of yall would bet your life savings on Daryl Green against Deion Sanders! Ya'll just yapping!
Green was faster than Deion whose PR was 10.26 sec. Green challenged him to a race, and Deion refused.
If Deion trained track 👣 he'd smoke 🚬 him.
Horrible form. All of them. They wouldn't be shit today running like this.
They had no coaching lol, their shoes sucked and the track was shit. Green would run 9.95 if he ran in modern shoes on a modern track just with those changes, if he training for it he would be one of the best of all time.
