Tyreek Hill, who is one of the fastest players in the NFL, wrote on X that Worthy’s time was “crazy.”

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had the same thought, but only after initially getting the time wrong and having to correct himself.

Worthy got two tries at the 40. His first run was clocked at 4.25 seconds, but he knew he could top that. He then proceeded to crank out 4.21 seconds on the second attempt. He was initially clocked at 4.22 seconds, which would have tied him with John Ross for the fasted 40 ever at the combine, but Worthy’s time was correctly adjusted down to 4.21 seconds.

The simulcam you've been waiting for.
