In the NFL, the title of slowest 40-yard dash is often given to offensive or defensive linemen. This is because their position requires them to be big and strong, rather than fast and agile. However, there have been a few linemen who have surprised everyone with their speed.
The current record holder for the slowest 40-yard dash time is Johnathan Ogden, an offensive lineman who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens in 1996. Ogden ran a 4.76 second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.
While Ogden's time is impressive (or unimpressive, depending on how you look at it), it's not the only slow time on record. In fact, there are several players who have run slower times than Ogden.
Some of these slowpokes include:
Eben Britton - 4.82 seconds
Mike Williams - 4.84 seconds
Isaiah Battle - 5.03 seconds
Larry Allen - 5..21 seconds
So there you have it! The slowest 40-yard dashes on record belong to some of the biggest names in football history.
