NFL Twitter erupts after John Ross breaks Chris Johnson’s 40-yard dash record

 

Washington wide receiver John Ross ran the 40-yard dash in a blazing 4.22 seconds.

 

John Ross shocked the football world Saturday with an incredible 40-yard dash time. Ross’ run of 4.22 seconds brokeChris Johnson’s record from 200a8 of 4.24 seconds, and everyone is freaking out about it.

First, the former record-holder weighed in after seeing Ross run:

Johnson wasn’t the only football star to show respect for the new king of the 40-yard dash.

Even Ross’ Washington classmates couldn’t contain themselves. Basketball stars Markelle Fultz, who could be this year’s No. 1 overall NBA draft pick, and Kelsey Plum, the NCAA D1 Women’s Basketball all-time scorer, were amazed by Ross:

While the run was great, it’s a shame he won’t win the island after wearing Nike cleats instead of Adidas. But that didn’t stop NFL players from advocating for Ross.
