Heyward-Bay Running 4.2 in workouts

[Macken]

Maryland WR Darrius Heyward-Bey has reportedly been cracking the 4.2s during test runs at the Athletes' Performance Institute.
Heyward-Bey ran 4.23 as a freshman in college. He's bigger than he was then, but the high 4.2s should be about right. DHB will draw a lot of attention this week. It will also be interesting to see how tall he actually is Thursday.

And looking at this list only goes to show how OVERRATED the 40 is. Hell, the whole combine is a joke. Football is played in a 10-yard box, not a 40 yard sprint. Jerry Rice ran like a 4.7. How many times you ever see him caught from behind?
