31 : 16
at the 1989 nfl scouting combine, sanders ran a 4.27 second 40-yard dash. he was the fifth pick overall in the 1989 nfl draft by the atlanta falcons, where he played until 1993. despite fumbling (and recovering) his first nfl punt return (which was re-kicked on a penalty), sanders ran for a touchdown on his second attempt of his first game. during his time in atlanta, he intercepted 24 passes (including a career-high 7 in 1993), three of which he returned for touchdowns. in 1992, he also led the league in kickoff return yards (1,067), yards per return (26.7) and return touchdowns (2). on october 11, 1992, sanders played in a falcons game in miami and then flew to pittsburgh, hoping to play in the braves' league championship series game against the pirates that evening and become the first athlete to play in two professional leagues in the same day. sanders ultimately did not, however, appear in the baseball game that night. over his five years with the falcons, sanders scored ten touchdowns (three defensive, three kick returns, two punt returns, and two receptions).

on february 22, treadwell announced to nfl.com that he would not take part in the 40-yard dash event at the combine, stating that he wanted more time before running it in front of nfl team scouts and general managers. he said he set his goal in the mid-to-high 4.4s or 4.5s. "i figured if i have enough time to work on it, i'll get the time i want," treadwell said. he did perform in the vertical jump at the combine, and his 33-inch leap placed him in the bottom half of the wide receiver group. measuring in at 6'2" (1.88 m), 217 pounds (98 kg) at ole miss' pro day, treadwell confirmed the relatively slow 40-yard dash time that scouts anticipated; in his first attempt, he clocked a pedestrian 4.65, and on his second chance, he ran a 4.63 with a 1.62 10-yard split. however, the more surprising result for treadwell, in fact, was not his 40-yard dash time but a disappointing -inch (0.85 m) vertical jump, a half-inch better than he did in indianapolis. he also completed the 20-yard shuttle in 4.30 seconds and the 3-cone drill in 7.04 seconds. based on his combine and pro day numbers, among the 43 wide receivers that were evaluated in indianapolis, treadwell’s 40-yard dash time would have placed him 28th. his twelve reps in the bench press was tied for 22nd within the group and his combine vertical jump tied for 23rd. his broad jump of 9'9" (2.97 m) ranked 12th and his campus numbers in the 20-yard shuttle and 3-cone drill would have placed 17th and 16th, respectively. after the workout, treadwell stated: "i didn't run what i wanted to run, but it was fun. i'm proud of myself for what i did run most importantly. i'm just a playmaker, when i get into the game it's a different feel than the 40-yard dash."
