40-yard dash contest: Enter today to win my money

For the third year in a row, I’m holding the MtD 40-yard dash contest (here is where you applaud). It’s an easy contest. All you have to do is pick the fastest player and his 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine. If you hit it, you get the money. Exactly $20, straight from my e-pocket.

If there are ties, a random winner will be chosen. That means if Lamar Miller and David Wilson are both the fastest with a 4.27, the people who picked those players and times will be put into the hat for a random win. Read more VERY IMPORTANT rules after the jump. Entering this contest is an admittance of reading the following rules.

Rules (read these):

1) You get one pick. You can’t change it. So if a player announces he’s not running, you’re screwed. How will this policed? I’ll randomly take screen shots of the comments and trust that you do not suck.

2) Look over the other picks before you make your pick. You cannot have the same pick as someone. However, you can pick the same player but a different time. So one person could pick Josh Chapman and 5.34 seconds and another person could take Josh Chapman and 5.35 seconds.If there are repeat picks, only the first person with the pick will be used.

3) You have to have Paypal. If you win and don’t have Paypal, you’re boned. The money will go back to me.

4) If you’re so hard up for $20 that you sign up for multiple accounts just to enter, you’re a pathetic loser. This isn’t really a rule, just saying.

5) Anyone can enter. That means you can lose to an MtD writer.

6) You have to have your entry in this post by 11:59 p.m. (EST) tonight (Saturday, Feb. 25). Workouts with offensive linemen are already under way. Entries anywhere on the site other than this post won’t count.

7) If no one hits it on the head, no one wins.

8) I get a pick.

This player should be a plug-and-play replacement for Mekhi Becton right off the bat.

This guy’s got talent, plus playing with Patrick Mahomes automatically elevates his potential.

He’s a bit of a liability in the run game, but his potential in the pass game was enough for Buffalo Rumblings.

It’s a high-potential pick for a Detroit defense that needs a solid pass rusher.
