IShowSpeed ran a 4.44-second 40-yard dash at an NFL Draft event in April 2024. That works out to an average speed of roughly 18.6 mph. He has since posted additional sprint times, including a reported 4.49-second 40-yard dash shared on social media. Both times are notably fast for someone without a professional football or track background.
How His Time Compares
A 4.44-second 40-yard dash would rank as a strong time even by NFL Combine standards, where most players run between 4.4 and 5.0 seconds depending on position. For context, the fastest recorded NFL Combine times sit in the 4.2 to 4.3 second range. IShowSpeed’s time lands close to that tier, despite having no formal sprint training background.
His Race Against Noah Lyles
In November 2024, IShowSpeed raced Noah Lyles, the reigning Olympic 100-meter gold medalist, over 50 meters. Lyles won, but Speed finished close behind, closer than most expected from a non-professional runner. After the race, Lyles offered to train with him for a week before a potential rematch. IShowSpeed accepted the offer, though no confirmed rematch has taken place since.
Is His Time Officially Verified?
His 40-yard dash times come from public events and social media posts rather than a formal, professionally sanctioned combine setting. Treat these figures as reported, notable results rather than official athletic records.
