The fastest I ever ran it was 5.0, at the time I weighed 250-260. We ran it on grass, because our coach said "You don't play football on a track." I was always curious to see what I would of done on the all weather track we had at our school. Hootie we are probably similar in generation, and I am surprised you went to a school that now leaves you completely disbelieving that white kids running 4.5's is so uncommon. We went to college combines as a team in high school, and I routinely saw guys breaking 4.5. Now the guys that broke 4.4 in high school that was rare. To this day I remember there was one black kid at the combine that ran a 4.39 his name was Arthur Orange. He was lightning quick. We played him that same year, and that was track speed that transferred to the football field.
