Roger Goodell runs the 40-yard dash (video)

Roger Goodell shows off his speed in case he ever decides to make  football his career in some way.

Usually Roger Goodell’s name is talked about for negative reasons, but this time he has done something that everyone will enjoy.

In an effort to benefit the charity of St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, Goodell decided to get in the combine spirit and run the 40-yard dash.

Goodell was a good sport about it and finished the run in 5.53 seconds. To put that in perspective, Tom Brady runs a 5.28 40-yard dash. So who knows, maybe if Goodell trained a little bit he could end up being one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game.

As amusing as the video is, it still would have been a lot funnier had he done it on the field in those short-shorts and everything that the NFL players wear when they do it.

I just hope we can one day get Goodell to do the bench press drill from the combine for some charity event (I’ll create my own charity if it needs to be done).

I’m happy that the commissioner will be talked about in a good way for a little bit rather than being torn down, but good things usually don’t last long and I’m sure people will be coming at him soon for something.
