Great stuff Ric. Gil told that story multiple times, usually the same way. I also talked with former Falcons GM Ken Herock, who was there the day Bo ran. Herock says at least one stopwatch caught Bo at 4.13. Bottom line, he was fast. Just ask the Seattle Seahawks..
Fantastic history and context to the evolution of the Combine - a must-read if folks want to understand the how and why beyond the flashy what and the obvious who-where-when.
Al certainly was a visionary specific to the growth potential of the NFL in many forums.
What a great read Frank! Had a chance to ask Gil about that Bo 40-time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d45xR1mj2aU
