Cole World Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Quote Falcons WR Christian Blake to compete in 40 Yards of Gold competition 3 comments Who’s really the fastest player in the NFL? We’re about to find out once and for all. Christian Blake has yet to play a regular season down for the Falcons, but he’s got a chance to make his mark in another type of competition. Blake will compete alongside some of the fastest players in the NFL in the new 40 Yards of Gold 40-yard dash tournament. This year marks the inaugural event, and it will be held on June 29, 2019. The venue has yet to be announced. The tournament seeding will be established based on fan votes. Fans can vote here, and voting will remain open until midnight on Sunday, May 26. Here’s the full list of participants: OFFENSE Ted Ginn Jr.Jeff BadetCorey ColemanTarik CohenRobby Anderson Richie JamesDamiere ByrdAlvin KamaraMark IngramKevin SneadChristian BlakeJacoby Ford Mystery Participant DEFENSE Dominique Rodgers-CromartieTrae WaynesJohn Franklin IIIKevin ByardQuinton DunbarRashard Robinson Terrell Sinkfield Jerome BakerJalen MyrickBudda BakerDonte JacksonCharles James II Mystery Participant Blake, who spent a chunk of 2018 on the Falcons’ practice squad, is entering his second NFL season after signing with Atlanta as an undrafted free agent following the 2018 NFL Draft. Blake had 83 catches for 972 yards and six touchdowns over his college career. He ran a 4.51 40-yard dash at his pro day. He’ll face some stiff competition. Budda Baker ran a 4.45 40, and Kevin Byard ran a 4.44. Also featured on the defensive lineup are TV stars John Franklin III from Last Chance U, who claimed to run a 4.19, and Hard Knocks fan favorite Charles James II, who ran a 4.4. Notably absent from the list is the man who currently holds the title for the fastest 40-yard dash, Bengals wideout John Ross, who ran a 4.22 at the NFL Combine in 2017. Maybe he’ll be the mystery participant.

Emmitt Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Reading the list of names, I’m a little dumbfounded that Mark Ingram is in this. No way Uncle Fester can compete with these guys. I have to take an Uber to run 40 yards these days and I still have just as good of odds as winning this is Mark Ingram. The concussion protocol is really a needed outside the lines it appears for some of these guys.. jeffro2000, papachaz, youngbloodz and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngbloodz Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Should be a 100 meters not 40 yards but whatever Tyreek Hill would get everyone on that list atlbaby 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlantafan21 Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Wish guys like John Ross, Marquise Goodwin, and Tavon Austin were part of it considering they ran the fastest 40 times in recent years(and ever in Ross’s case). But I love the fact that there’s this little competition, keeps the off-season a bit more interesting. mtldirtybird and youngbloodz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
