An NFL Prospect Can Win His Own Island If He Breaks the 40-Yard Dash Record

Posted Feb 27, 2017
One NFL prospect has the chance to own a private island. All he has to do is break the 40-yard dash record. The catch is that he also must be wearing the new adidas cleats. Usually the company would offer a cash incentive if a prospect broke the 4.24-second record set by Chris Johnson. But the stakes are higher in 2017 as the brand is offering up up a private island.
