KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — There's video of a Tennessee athlete running the 40-yard dash faster than anyone ever has at the NFL combine.
Except he didn't get drafted. He's not even a football player. He did it for fun and watched the video gain traction on social media.
This just might have signaled Christian Coleman's arrival as one of the top young American sprinters. At a time when the U.S. is seeking talented young sprinters as Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin enter their mid-30s, Coleman is an intriguing contender.
"I definitely look at the opportunity and hope I can take advantage of it," Coleman said.
