"Debunking the Myth: Xavier Worthy vs. Usain Bolt in the 40-Yard-Dash"

Xavier Worthy set a new 40-yard-dash record at the NFL Combine with a time of 4.21 seconds, surpassing the previous record held by John Ross. However, comparisons to Usain Bolt are unfounded, as Bolt's effort at a Super Bowl event was not a typical 40-yard-dash and he was retired from professional sprinting at the time. While Worthy's achievement is impressive, it doesn't equate to beating Bolt, who is considered the greatest of all time in sprinting. Additionally, a challenge has been issued to Christian Coleman to run a sub-4 second 40-yard-dash, potentially overshadowing Worthy's record.
