The commish started his dash out with great form.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell showed off his athletic ability by running a 40-yard dash on Wednesday to benefit St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital.
Goodell ran the 40 in 5.53 seconds — not bad for a 55-year-old — while likely faster than Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.
“[Goodell] has thrown down the gauntlet to Eisen,” said NFL Network executive producer Eric Weinberger, according to Sports Business Daily.
That quote was in reference to Rich Eisen’s annual 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine.
I think we can expect to see a ton of ramdom people just running 40s this week.
