There's some added incentive to performing well in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Draft Combine, according to ESPN: Three players will win Porsche 911 Carrera cars. The offer comes from Adidas, which is promising the cars, worth about $83,000 each, to the three fastest players in the combine's 40-yard dash who sign with the company before they step up to the line. But wait, shouldn't they give the fast cars to the slowest guys? Fast dudes already get to go fast all the time! Let the big men live! Doing well at the draft used to just be about showing your athletic talent to teams. Now that it's a huge event, you can actually win stuff from doing well. The cars will have customized cheetah paint jobs, because cheetahs are fast. It's a win-win for Adidas -- they get publicity from this, *and* presumably at least one speedy dude will pick Adidas in hopes of getting a free car, which means one more fast dude wearing Adidas. sbnation
JJ Nelson in the lead so far. I was surprised at Kevin White's times, a WR that size running that fast is crazy
