How fast is Tom Brady?

There are hardly any players who can match the passing ability of Brady. He distributes the ball with precision, picking up his teammates with a devastating arm. Hence, he won Super Bowl titles and different accolades with the team.

Although he is good at distributing the ball, he is not known for his quick acceleration or pace. During the 2000 NFL Combine, Brady clocked a 5.28 during the 40-yard dash. It is actually a time that most players have.

The NFL combine during 2000 saw Brady become the slowest player to have recorded the time during that event. Hence, he is not fast compared to other athletes. Although his idea of the game is top-notch, Brady is a legend in his own way. However, if he is put in a race against the fastest man alive, the results won’t be noteworthy.

While the fastest ever time put forward in an NFL combine is John Ross during the 2017 NFL Combine, a time of 4.22 seconds. In the meantime, Bolt posted the same time during an NFL event wearing his trainers. Without his kit and running on grass, he easily equaled the record and showed why he was regarded as the best. Thus, Bolt is a legend in sprinting. No one has come close to his 100-meter world record.

It’s important to know why these two athletes represent their sport. While Brady is incredible in his own skill set, when it comes to sprinting, Bolt is outrageous. He is one of the best athletes in the world to appear on the track.
