The Olympic track events would be improved exponentially if athletes followed Rich Eisen’s lead and wore suits in competition
American News anchor Rich Eisen slapped on his best running suit and took part in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine on Monday.
The 45-year-old broadcaster put up a quite respectable time of 6.10 seconds in the drill. The NFL Network host has taken part in the 40-yard dash every year since 2005, not because of some delusional aspirations of being drafted by a franchise , but to raise money for the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
While Eisen’s time is decent, when you match it up against highly-touted quarterback prospect Jameis Winston it makes for some seriously entertaining viewing.
For the record, Winston’s best time for the 40-yard sprint was 4.97 seconds.
