This. No one on Huskerboard is going to beat Rex Burkhead in a 40.Just looking at the combine testing results, I just don't know if anyone posting is running any 40 under 5.0. I mean, some of the QB's did not get under 5.0 and they are training year round.
Double this!
Damn bro, you havent trained for the 40 in over a decade and you could still run a 5 second 40?High school
Player: Nebraskafaninwi
Hometown: Menomonie, WI
School: Menomonie
Position: DT
Height: 6-0
Weight: 217 (real body weight)
40 time: 4.67 (electronic)
Max bench/225 reps: 330 max bench and no clue what the 225 reps would be.
Offers: Drake, a couple of D2 schools in MN....interest from a couple North Dakota and North Dakota State (they were not that good back in my day).
Note: Decided not to play at the next level as my heart was D1A or bust. Obviously was not good enough to garner attention at the D1A level and that was fine at the end of the day.

40 time: maybe 4.9ish to 5.0ish these days since I have not trained for a 40 yard dash in over a decade.
Max bench/225 rep: Still naturally strong as my entire family is, but I doubt I could do more than 300 these days...no clue how many reps of 225.
Offers: Which is now an occupation...regional sales manager
But he's never been fast. He's quick thoughRex Burkhead trained for 6 weeks straight just to run the 40, and he ran a 4.75. 6 weeks, with some super amazing trainers working with a guy that was already a highly decorated athlete. Just tossing that out there!
