Okay, so I saw this thing online about Dylan Edwards and his 40-yard dash time, and I got curious. I mean, 4.41 seconds? That’s blazing fast! So, I decided to dig in a little and see what all the fuss was about.

My Little Experiment
First, I just wanted to get a feel for what that time really means. I’ve seen a lot of football games, but putting a number on it like that makes you think.
So, I went online. Searched for “Dylan Edwards 40 time” and boom, there it was. 4.41 seconds at the Under Armour All-America Game. Then I found some info about the NFL Combine, where the pros run. Apparently, only three running backs were faster than Edwards in the 2024 Combine. That’s nuts!
Digging Deeper
It made me wonder, how do they even measure this stuff so precisely?
- I figured they must use some kind of fancy timing system, not just a regular stopwatch.
- Probably lasers or something, right?
I also thought about how much practice it must take to get that fast. I mean, I can run, but I’m definitely not clocking a 4.41!
Putting It in Perspective
I tried to imagine myself running that fast. No way. I’d probably pull a hamstring just thinking about it! These guys are seriously elite athletes.

It really puts things in perspective. When you see these players on TV, you don’t always appreciate the sheer athleticism involved. 4.41 seconds to cover 40 yards… It’s mind-blowing, really.
So there you have it that’s the result for my little exploration of the topic.
