Contents
We all know that NFL players are some of the quickest and most agile athletes in the world. But who is the slowest player in the NFL?
We took a look at the 40-yard dash times of every active NFL player to find out. Here are the slowest players in the NFL, according to their 40-yard dash times.
Introduction
There is no single answer to this question. The slowest person in the NFL depends on a number of factors, including position, height, weight, and level of competition. Some players may have slower 40-yard dash times than others, but they may make up for it with agility or other speed-related qualities.
The Candidates
In the NFL, there are a lot of players who are considered to be the slowest. Some of these players are quarterbacks, while others are wide receivers. Here is a list of the candidates for the slowest player in the NFL.
Eli Manning
Eli Manning, who has been the slowest person in the NFL for the past two years, is once again the slowest person in the NFL. The New York Giants quarterback was clocked at 5.83 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis on Sunday.
Andy Dalton
Andy Dalton is a quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He has played for the Bengals his entire career.
Dalton is known for being a very slow quarterback. He has been clocked at running the 40-yard dash in 5.56 seconds, which is very slow for a quarterback. In fact, there have only been two quarterbacks who have been slower than Dalton in the 40-yard dash: Michael Vick and Vince Young.
Blake Bortles
In 2014, the Jaguars drafted Blake Bortles with the third overall pick in the NFL Draft. He was supposed to be the team’s franchise quarterback for years to come. But, unfortunately, that has not been the case. In fact, Bortles has been one of the worst quarterbacks in the NFL over the past few years.
In 2016, he threw for 3,905 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. That’s not bad. But his completion percentage was only 58.9%, which is below average. And his quarterback rating was only 79.8, which is also below average.
In 2017, he threw for 3,687 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions. Again, not bad. But his completion percentage dropped to 56.5%, and his quarterback rating dropped to 77.5%.
And this year, he has been even worse. Through nine games, he has thrown for 2,176 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. His completion percentage has dropped to 54.9%, and his quarterback rating has dropped to 74.1%.
