UNC HC Roy Williams Says Michael Jordan Ran a 4.38 40-Yard Dash in College

Michael Jordan had elite NFL wide receiver speed, at least he did according to UNC head coach Roy Williams.

On a recent appearance on "The Herd" with Colin Cowherd, Williams, who was an assistant at North Carolina during Jordan's tenure in Raleigh, said Jordan ran a 4.38 40-yard dash during a team practice in 1982.

Williams said three Tar Heels coaches were tracking Jordan's time with stopwatches with one recording a 4.39-second sprint and two clocking Jordan at 4.38 seconds.

"Too fast for you, huh?" Jordan responded, per Williams.

The future Bulls star said he then ran it a second time, clocking in below 4.
