The 2020 NFL combine is over, and with that comes one of the more anticipated moments: “Run Rich Run,” in which the NFL Network’s Rich Eisen runs the 40-yard dash in his suit and raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Last year, he did it in 6.00 seconds even, and this time he did it in 5.98, which isn’t his best time hes’s ever put up — that would be a 5.94 seconds in 2016 — but it’s a big deal anyway. It’s the fourth time he’s broken six seconds since he started the tradition in 2005.
This time, he had San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and legend Jerry Rice helping him out:
