In 1986, Auburn's Bo Jackson ran the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL combine, with a reported time of 4.12. A time of 4.18 run by Jackson within the same week added some support to the legitimacy of the times. Deion Sanders ran a 4.27-second 40-yard dash in 1989.
Top Blade Steak. Top blade (or simply blade) steak is a small shoulder cut. It is an all-purpose steak. While it is very tender and richly flavored, a line of gristle that runs through the center of the meat makes it a poor option for serving whole. Remove the gristle and slice the steak thinly for stir-fries or cut into cubes for kebabs or stews.
These pieces are then cut into individual steaks. The Flat Iron name is used only in reference to steaks cut using this innovative new method and are typically labeled as Shoulder Top Blade Steaks (Flat Iron) in the meat case. These rectangular steaks average 8 ounces each. The thickness of each Flat Iron varies from 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inches. For this reason, in recipes, this cut is called for by weight, not by thickness. Flat Iron steaks can also be cut into strips for stir-fry or cubes for kabobs.
