Adidas is back with another offer for NFL Draft prospects running the 40-yard dash. Last year they planned to give out customized Porsches for the three fastest players but the NFL squashed those plans due to their deal with General Motors. Instead Adidas gave $100,000 each to the three winners. This year they stepped it up a HUGE notch.
This year Adidas will offer $1 million to any NFL draft prospect who sets a new record in the 40-yard dash at the 2016 NFL combine, the company announced on Tuesday.
The current record is held by Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson, who set the record in 2008 with a time of 4.24 seconds.
According to the official terms and conditions, only players who wear Adidas cleats are eligible for the money prize.
The 2016 combine will be held from Feb. 23 to 29.
Good luck to all the participants.
