Rondel Melendez (in 1999) and Chris Johnson (in 2008) both share first place at 4.24 in the list of top official 40 yard dash results recorded at the NFL Scouting combine since 1999, the first year electronic timing was implemented at the NFL Scouting Combine. Prior to 1999 40 yard dash times were somewhat unreliable and often prone to exaggeration. However, in 1986, Auburn's Bo Jackson is said to have run the fastest 40 yard dash at an NFL combine, with a reported time of 4.12. This time was obviously scrutinized, but a time of 4.18 run by Jackson within the same week certainly added some support to the legitimacy of the times.
However, other claims are that:
reggie bush
not really chris Johnson
The fastest official electric time was Chris Johnson of the Tennessee Titans who ran a 4.24.
Chris Johnson at the 2008 NFL combine ran the 40-Yard Dash in 4.24
Since 1999, the fastest 40-yard-dash time is 4.24. Both Rondel Melendez in 1999 and Chris Johnson in 2008 have finished in that time.
Electronic timing was implemented in 1999.
I think Rondel Melendez ran the fasted 40 yard dash time. In 1999 he ran a 4.23 in the 40 yd dash.

many people refer to Devin Hester as the fastest man in the NFL capable of running a 4.26 40 yard dash.
bo jackson hes not on the 40 yard dash list but he ran it in 4.12 seconds and im not even joking.
Bo Jackson ran a 4.12 but it was not electronically timed and therfore could not be verified. Chris Johnson ran a 4.24 at the NFL Combine: The fastest electronically timed 40 yard dash.
Ted Ginn Jr. , he plays for the Miami Dolphins and ran a 4.06 40 yard dash.
The fastest 10-yard split ever electronically recorded was the 1.40 time recorded by current Tennessee Titan runningback Chris Johnson at the 2008 NFL Scouting Combine.
