Anyone know how fast Clinton Portis clocks the 40 now?

In 2006 it was a 4.26 .. since then he's lost weight.. i'd be interested to find out how fast he can do it now..

All together now...

"Nobody gets faster as they get older."

Every time you get tackled, your body absorbs punishment. I would guess that in many measurables, CP is better than he was at the combine. Speed isn't one of them.

What's your source on that? I find it hard to believe he ran that fast ever, and very hard to believe that he ran that time in 06.

He certainly doesn't look faster, even on the few times he got deep in the secondary he looked like he lacks the breakaway speed he had in his first few years.

He ran a 4.26 in the 2006 training camp...
Clinton Portis Fan Site - Biography

there's one link, but there are a bunch of others on google

My point is, however, that he hasn't aged that much (he's still 26 years old guys), he only had about 3 legit break away opportunities this year.. 1 was in the first Giants game, another in the Jets game (bad angle on player), and a third was in the 2nd Giants game where he was slung down by his facemask..

I honestly believe that this year, if Portis stays healthy and our O-line is consistant, we'll get the most production from him ever.. Shaun Alexander went 1800+ and had the touchdown record.. Portis has always been faster and stronger than Alexander and could put up similar numbers.
