Tom Brady, widely regarded as the greatest football player in NFL history, recently surprised everyone by running a faster 40-yard dash at the age of 46 than he did 24 years ago at the NFL combine. His hand-timed dash clocked in at 5.12 and 5.18, both faster than his original combine time of 5.28. Brady showcased his speed in a promotional video for his athletic brand “Nobull,” wearing their shoes in a Twitter post.
In the video, Brady humorously acknowledged his improvement by stating, “24 years ago I ran a 5.28 40-yard dash.” His business partner, Mike Repole, added a joke at the end of the video, highlighting how Brady’s performance would have warranted a higher draft pick if he had run that fast 25 years ago. Despite being drafted in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft, Brady’s performance continues to impress.
Looking ahead, Brady expressed his intention to further enhance his speed, stating, “Next year it’s gonna be faster.” With aspirations of running a sub 5.00 time, he remains dedicated to improvement. Despite his age, Brady’s commitment to fitness and healthy living shines through in his remarkable performance.
Many fans are now speculating about Brady’s potential return to the NFL for another season, fueled by his continued excellence on the field. As the football world eagerly anticipates the possibility of seeing Brady compete once more, the prospect of witnessing another showdown between him and fellow superstar Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl excites fans and pundits alike.
