Kevin Hart in Wheelchair After Suffering Injury Racing Former NFL RB Stevan Ridley

Kevin Hart thought he could beat a former NFL running back in a 40-yard dash.

His body told him otherwise.

The comedian revealed he will be in a wheelchair for the foreseeable future after suffering several injuries while racing former NFL running back Stevan Ridley.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the age 40 is real. To all my men, women out there that are 40 years old and above, it's not a game," Hart said. "Respect that age, or that age will make you respect it. I was just forced to respect it."

Hart said the race happened after a challenge from Ridley, who played for the New England Patriots, New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers during his eight-year NFL career.
