Alright, so you wanna know about this Mbappe fella and how fast he runs, eh? They call it the “40-yard dash,” somethin’ them football fellas do. I ain’t never seen no football game in my life, but I heard tell it’s important how fast you can run a short ways.
Now, this Mbappe, he’s a soccer player, I think. They kick the ball with their feet, not carry it like them football boys. But speed is speed, no matter what game you’re playin’. They say this boy is mighty fast. Faster than a chicken runnin’ from a fox, I tell ya!
So, how fast is he really?
Well, they got this thing, the 40-yard dash. It’s like, you start runnin’ and they see how quick you can get 40 yards. That ain’t far, mind you. Just a little bit further than from my porch to the old oak tree. But these young fellas, they cover that ground like greased lightnin’.
- They say the fastest ever was some fella named Worthy, runnin’ it in 4.21 seconds. That’s faster than a blink, I reckon.
- Then there’s this Ross fella, a bit slower at 4.22 seconds.
- And that Bolt fella, the one who runs like the wind? He done somethin’ similar but not exactly the same, they say.
Now, Mbappe, they ain’t got no official 40-yard dash time for him. See, he plays that soccer, not American football. But them smarty-pants fellas with their computers, they figured out he can run about 23.6 miles per hour. That’s fast, real fast. Faster than my old mule, Bess, that’s for sure!
They even watched him on them TV screens, runnin’ 40 meters – that’s a bit longer than 40 yards – to kick the ball in the net. And he was zoomin’! Like a rocket, they said. So even though he ain’t run the exact 40-yard dash they do in football, it’s clear this boy’s got some serious speed.
Why do they care about this 40-yard dash anyway?
Well, from what I gather, them football fellas, the scouts they call ’em, they watch these young boys run to see how fast and quick they are. It tells ’em if they got what it takes to play the game. Can they outrun the other fella? Can they catch the ball? Can they get away from gettin’ tackled? It’s all about speed and quickness, see?
It’s like pickin’ a good watermelon, I reckon. You thump it, you look at it, you see if it’s ripe. These scouts, they watch these boys run the 40-yard dash to see if they’re “ripe” for playin’ football. It’s how they judge ‘em, see if they’re worth their salt.
So, is Mbappe faster than those football fellas?
That’s the million-dollar question, ain’t it? We don’t know for sure, seein’ as he ain’t run that exact 40-yard dash. But 23.6 miles per hour is mighty fast. He might just give them football boys a run for their money, I tell ya. He’s probably faster than most, even if he ain’t got that official time.
It’s like comparin’ apples and oranges, I guess. Different games, different ways of measurin’ speed. But one thing’s for sure: Mbappe is fast. Real fast. And that’s all that matters, whether you’re kickin’ a ball or carryin’ it. Speed is a blessin’, specially in them sports games.
And that’s all I know about this Mbappe fella and his speed. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens before they start squawkin’ up a storm.
