What is ray lewis's 40 yard dash time?
The below is possibly incorrect. The "proof" is a list of UNOFFICIAL fastest times.
_____________________________________________________________________
The below is incorrect. Ted Ginn Jr. ran this fastest 40m dash at 4.06 seconds.
Website for proof and rankings:
http://www.listafterlist.com/tabid/57/listid/5923/Sports++Recreation/NFLs+Unofficial+Fastest+40Yard+Dash+Times.aspx
the fastest time ever recorded is 3.6 by Barry Sanders, followed by 3.9 by Joey Galloway. Devin Hester has the 3rd fastest time at 4.01 followed by alot of 4.15s
Sam Stuart ran a 3.85
I wonder if you might give us some documentation on the time of Galloway since I have searched the Internet and can find nothing about it. Certainly someone that can run that fast, faster than Asafa Powell or Bob Hayes, would have that information documented somewhere. According to the NFL, the fastest electronically timed 40 yard dash is 4.25 by Fabian Washington. Others have run faster outside the NFL's timing, the fastest being Hester's 4.01 at Miami Pro Day and Ted Ginn Jr. who supposedly ran a 4.06 40 at OSU. Both of those times are questionable at best as no documentation is known as far as track/wind conditions. Where might we find an article that states Galloway ran a 3.9?
Actually reggie bush, bo Jackson and Hester have all posted faster times than Washington. Darrell green ran a 4.09 but wasn't documente3d. And joey galloway ran a 3.9 in his individual workout for the seattle seahawks b4 they drafted him.. U can find documentation if u search on wikipedia under 40 yrd dash
Former NFL safety Edward Reed Jr. is 38 years old (birthdate: September 11, 1978).
Why is the Baltimore football team named the Ravens?
A fan contest was held to select a new team name when the Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore in 1996. The name Ravens was selected over 'Marauders' and 'Americans' due, in part, to the fact that poet Edgar Allen Poe spent the last years of his life in Baltimore, and one of his most famous poems is called 'The Raven'.
The Ravens name was picked based on the famous poem. Which is why the Baltimore Ravens' mascots are three ravens named Edgar, Allan, and Poe. If you have seen the M&T Bank commercial with Todd Heap and their mascot, you'll realize that they say, "Heap has it, Poe has it, Captain Defense has it. It's checking built for Baltimore, only from M&T Bank."
(The Browns name was transferred to the new Cleveland team, and both the Ravens and 1999 Browns considered "new expansion teams" created by the relocation.)
They chose a name that was felt personified both the city of Baltimore and also general toughness - Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" was felt to meet both criteria.
What are the Baltimore Ravens team colors?
Black and Purple are the colors of a live Raven (bird). The gold and white come from the official Seal of Maryland.
Did the Baltimore Ravens ever beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in a playoff game?
No, they have not. The Ravens are 0-2 versus the Steelers in the postseason.
