Who is the fastest DB in the NFL today?

Answer 1

The speed of NFL players is measured by their 40-yard dash time.

Here is a list of drafted players that have ran the 40-yard dash in under 4.3 seconds since the NFL started using electronic timers at the scouting combine in 1999.

40-yard dash

1. Rondel Melendez - 4.24 seconds (1999)

2. Chris Johnson - 4.24 seconds (2008)

3. Fabian Washington - 4.25 seconds (2005)

4. Darrius Heyward-Bey - 4.25 seconds (2009)

5. Champ Bailey - 4.28 seconds (1999)

6. Jerome Mathis - 4.28 seconds (2005)

7. Jacoby Ford - 4.28 seconds (2010)

8. Stanford Routt - 4.29 seconds (2005)

9. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie - 4.29 seconds (2008)

Other opinions on the fastest NFL player:

• It is between deangalo hall and devin Hester. Devin Hester is the only player in madden history to have his speed and acceleration at 100. Deangalo hall was the fastest in the nfl before Hester. so unless they race we'll never know

• You should not compare players by how fast they are in Madden. But i think overall Devin Hester is the fastest player in the NFL.

• Chris Johnson is maybe the second fastest running back ever. He ran a 4.24 at the combine. If u look it up on YouTube, the reporter says that it is the fastest ever by a running back but Vincent "Bo" Jackson who "ran a 4.12 40 yard dash," still possesses what is "considered the fastest verifiable 40 time at an NFL combine."

• Chris Johnson, 4.24. Fastest man EVER in the NFL. Electronically timed. Only legit SPEED DEMON in the NFL today. There was a Kansas or Kentucky receiver or something in the 1999 combine, the first year of electronic timing, who also ran a 4.24. His career was incredibly short-lived. I don't even think he played a down in the NFL. Look him up if interested, but Chris Johnson's career will be all but short-lived. Amen.

• Top 3 fastest in the nfl: 3.Ginn Jr. 4.31, 2.Desean Jackson 4.29, 1.Chris Johnson 4.24

• Chris Johnson even said he'll beat Usain Bolt in a 50 meter race! strong statement. First of all Chris Johnson wont have a short career hes the best HB in the league. Second of all there are a lot of people faster than ginn. No one could ever beat Usain Bolt, the fastest man in history

• I agree, Johnson talking a lot of smack right now. Agree Ginn Jr. not with those guys. My money on Jackson (NFL) if Jerry Rice says Jackson is the fastest player he ever seen? I will go with Jackson also, Johnson quicker, but belive Jackson would beat him in race.

• You are all wrong! Teddy Ginn Jr. is the fastest man in the NFL!C.Johnson,D.Jackson and D.Hester are close but Ginn has more football speed than the close 40 times they had in the combine. He pulls away from DBs chasing him quicker than the rest. He can fly!!!

• Don't say no one will beat Usain Bolt in a race, You guys have no idea on the mechanics of a 40yard dash and a 100m dash, 100m dashes are trained differently compared to a 40yard dash via acceleration and point of maximum speed.

• You also can't rule out Darren McFadden or C.J. Spiller. They're young & inexperienced, but McFadden ran an unofficial 4.27 at the combine. & Spiller ran an unofficial 4.26. That's at least enough to compete.

Answer 2

Deion Sanders holds the title as the fastest with a recorded 4.21 40 yard dash in the 1989 NFL Combine. Unofficial and unconfirmed reports like Ike Taylor as the fastest cornerback with a 4.18 40 yard dash. Currently the fastest active NFL player with an official time is Stanford Routt with a 4.25 40 yard dash in the 2005 NFL Combine.
