Former Texas star Xavier Worthy has humble reaction to comparisons with $90M worth Usain Bolt - “I'm not even gonna disrespect him”

Texas Longhorns wide receiver, Xavier Worthy recently set the NFL Scouting Combine ablaze with his blistering speed during the 40-yard dash.

His record-breaking time of 4.21 seconds broke the previous mark held by former Washington receiver John Ross. However, when asked about a hypothetical showdown with the legendary Usain Bolt, Worthy displayed both humility and reverence.

He candidly admitted that there’s no comparison between himself and the eight-time Olympic gold medalist in the 40-yard dash.

Amid comparisons with the $90M worth star Bolt (according to Forex Fraud), Worthy's response was:

"His 40 was in shoes and sweats,” he said. “There's no comparison. I'm not even gonna disrespect him."

Bolt’s iconic 100-meter dash time of 9.58 seconds, set in Aug. 2009, remains an unassailable record. But Worthy’s feat is no less remarkable. His 40-yard dash time of 4.21 seconds is now etched in the annals of NFL Combine history, eclipsing Ross’s previous record by a mere 0.01 seconds.

Bolt’s own 40-yard dash time of 4.22 seconds was achieved during the NFL Experience festivities in 2019—while he was clad in sweatpants and sneakers. At the time, Bolt was a sprightly 37-year-old who had retired from athletics in 2017.

Here's how fans reacted to Xavier Worthy’s electrifying speed:

"Youngster got respect for the legend Bolt...unlike Hill,” fan commented.

“Why is this even a question? Bolt jogged a 4.22 in sneakers and pants,” a fan wrote.

“Let's be real tho, bro is wearing sweats, past his prime running a 4.22? Just imagine in his prime without sweats,” another wrote.

“Some other track guy, not even Usain Bolt, ran a 4.12 lol. It's silly,” one wrote.
