Darrell Green retired from the Redskins after the 2002 season. He was the team's first-round pick in 1983, a seven-time Pro Bowler, and when it was all said and done, a first-ballot Hall of Famer. In addition to being one of the all-time Redskins greats, he was also one of the fastest. And that still holds. According to his Twitter feed, Green celebrated his 50th birthday, like most folks who reach the milestone, by busting out a 4.43 forty.
A decade ago, shortly after signing a five-year deal (yep, that's right, Dan Snyder gave a 40-year-old a five-year contract), Green did this:
That's right: 4.2.

That's smokin for a 50 yr old! he he
That's smokin for a 20year old !
Hell YEA !!!!
My mailbox is about ten yards from my door. I'm not sure I could get there in 4.43 and if I did I know it would not make it back in that time, would likely need a rest before coming back!
WOW::: I just got tired by reading the story...Great Shape he is in...
AWESOME!! A 4.43 forty is fast for any age!!!
He is and always will be my favorite Redskin player. His work ethic and class always made him a superstar to me. Way to go old man.
Somebody get him a cup to urinate in!
James....What a moron!! Darell Green was and still might be the fastest man alive.I know he held that title for awhile.Darell Green was never juiced he played offense and defense for the Washington Redskins and helped them win their superbowls.Do us all a favor learn your history before you speak.Don't be a hater!!
Do you know him personally juilo4uii? how do you know he wasn't juicing? It seems like everyone that seems like they wouldn't, have.
I went to college with Darrell Green. He was amazingly fast. He destroyed the then 100 meter dash record but it was considered wind aided. I am here to tell you, those flags weren't blowing during the race. It shouldn't have been called wind aided.
At 40 not 50.
incorrect.
No Dude , at 40 years old he ran a 4.2 .
as soon as I finish my pasta I'll beat that time.
my guess is it was more like 14.43 or the guy was imagining he was being chased by a police dog.
wal5we why do you have to be a hater, are you jealous
I know for a fact you are a lazy kid no matter what race you are.Do a few push ups.
