Is a 4.5 a Good 40

NFL recievers run a 4.3–4.5. Lineman are usually around 5.0, some as fast as 4.8. But their adults over 21 and in peak physical condition. If at 13 you can run a 40 in the 5 second range I’d say your pretty fast.

What is considered a good 40-yard dash time?

Most running backs clock it times between 4.40 and 4.70, with some running in the 4.30’s and some running higher than 4.70. Chris Johnson who ran a 4.24 seems to be an anomaly as he is the only running back in the last 20 years to run between 4.20 and 4.29.

Is a 4.6 40 fast?

Keep in mind a 4.6 forty is very fast compared to the population in general. Most people who would give you advice here have never run that fast. Go to your local high school during track practice.
