Redskins HOF CB Darrell Green Celebrates 50th Birthday By Running A 4.43 In The 40

Washington Redskins Hall of Fame cornerback Darrell Green, who was known for his energy and age-defying speed (he won the NFL’s Fastest Man competition four times) when he played, turned 50 Monday and, apparently, hasn’t lost much of a step since his retirement after the 2002 season.

He told the story of his celebration on Twitter (@darrellgreen28):

Quick update from the Birthday Boy :) I think today I became the fastest 50 year old in the world! @9AM today, I celebrated my 50th BDay…..

By running the 40 yard dash in Orlando, Florida in a time of 4.43! FYI, all born between 1946 -1964 are baby boomers…

I’m guessing that makes me the fastest baby boomer! I would say, thats really booming. Are you?

I love that! He's prolly faster than about 90% of the current Redskins. They need to resign him, LOL!

He would become the oldest player in NFL history and probably do well at cornerback for them or anyone that would sign him.

Biggest impact player Redskins have ever had on defense and punt returns.

Darrell can do at age 50 what most players in their 30's can't do. Killer defense and returns like nobody's business.
