The 40 yard dash record for NFL players is 4.24 seconds and was set by Rondel Melendez in 1999 and equaled, in 2008, by Chris Johnson. However, it is important to note that these are listed as 'official' since they were set after the introduction of the 'electronic timer' at the NFL Combine - but, the electronic timer itself is activated/started by an official by hand when he sees the player move. They really need some 'laser to laser' start/finish system before the times can be relied upon. Even then, the player is not wearing full NFL kit and helmet - so the times have very little to do with the actual sport.
Here are some unofficial CLAIMS for some players. But, as we know, people are prone to BS:
