The below is possibly incorrect. The "proof" is a list of UNOFFICIAL fastest times.

the fastest time ever recorded is 3.6 by Barry Sanders, followed by 3.9 by Joey Galloway. Devin Hester has the 3rd fastest time at 4.01 followed by alot of 4.15s
Sam Stuart ran a 3.85
I wonder if you might give us some documentation on the time of Galloway since I have searched the internet and can find nothing about it. Certainly someone that can run that fast, faster than Asafa Powell or Bob Hayes, would have that information documented somewhere. According to the NFL, the fastest electronically timed 40 yard dash is 4.25 by Fabian Washington. Others have run faster outside the NFL's timing, the fastest being Hester's 4.01 at Miami Pro Day and Ted Ginn Jr. who supposedly ran a 4.06 40 at OSU. Both of those times are questionable at best as no documentation is known as far as track/wind conditions. Where might we find an article that states Galloway ran a 3.9?
Actually reggie bush, bo Jackson and Hester have all posted faster times than Washington. Darrell green ran a 4.09 but wasn't documente3d. And joey galloway ran a 3.9 in his individual workout for the Seattle Seahawks b4 they drafted him.. U can find documentation if u search on wikipedia under 40 yrd dash

I remember reading somewhere it was 4.5 seconds, but in the days when Jim brown played the 40 yard dash wasn't really a standard measurement of a players speed like it is today, and players times also weren't published as they are now. The thing to remember is that Jim Brown didn't really rely on speed, his strength was in, his physical strength and his ability to break tackles.
When interviewed on the Broncos website he says he was timed at 4.2 at age 21 at college; presumably he's lost a little since then. Maybe 4.3 is a reasonable estimation. His combine time was 4.28.
From what I have found out, his 1996 best time was 4.53. Others have heard 4.52 some as high as 4.57.
Either way he was right where he needed to be in the 4.5 range.
2009 Ravens practice 40 dash time check 4.58
