Watch Usain Bolt Tie NFL Combine 40-Yard Dash Record at 4.22 Seconds

Everybody knows Usain Bolt is fast. In fact, he's the fastest human in recorded history, holding the record in the 100-meter dash (9.58 seconds) and 200-meter dash (19.19 seconds). He won eight Olympic gold medals in his career, establishing himself as the preeminent sprinting star before his 2017 retirement.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross set the record in 2017, and while Bolt's run is obviously unofficial, it's impressive how casually he matched it. In his prime, Bolt likely would have smashed the record, though the Jamaican superstar was famous for his explosive speed in the middle and at the end of races. 

Yes, he gets even faster after 40 yards. All hail the king of speed.
