Bo Jackson is one of the greatest all-round professional athletes in the history of all sports. He excelled at playing professional football and professional baseball at the same time. It should come as no surprise that he put together one of the most impressive performances ever at the combine. Though unofficial, it's rumored that he ran a 4.12 in the 40-yard dash, the fastest ever by a wide margin.

Rumor has it that Bo Jackson ran a 4.12 40 at the 1986 NFL combine.
