How fast does OJ Simpson run the 40 yard dash?
According to the fact that O.J. Simpson ran the 100 yd. dash in 9.4 seconds, it would calculate to him running the 40 yard dash in 3.6 seconds. (9.4 divided by 100 equals 0.09 seconds per yard times 40 yards equals 3.6 seconds) The 100 yd. dash may be true, but O.J. Simpson did not run a 3.6 40 My Answer: Even if he did run 9.4 on a 100 yrd dash, it would account to .094 per yard, meaning 3.76 seconds to finish 40 yards. However, it doesn't work that way since speed increases dramatically between the 3rd and 8th second approximately while we are sprinting, so a 40 yard dash is not as quick as 3.76. I'm guessing it would be around 4.1-4.2 realistically speaking for even someone as fast as OJ Simpson.
