Darrell Green Runs 4.43 40-Yard Dash on 50th Birthday46 Comments Say Something

Darrell Green retired from the Redskins after the 2002 season. He was the team's first-round pick in 1983, a seven-time Pro Bowler, and when it was all said and done, a first-ballot Hall of Famer.

In addition to being one of the all-time Redskins greats, he was also one of the fastest. And that still holds. According to his Twitter feed, Green celebrated his 50th birthday, like most folks who reach the milestone, by busting out a 4.43 forty.

A decade ago, shortly after signing a five-year deal (yep, that's right, Dan Snyder gave a 40-year-old a five-year contract), Green did this:
