Fuller .09 Seconds Away from $1 Million Bonus!

https://youtu.be/jcaqypkvLZk

Notre Dame student-athlete Will Fuller was nine hundredths of a second away from a $1 million bonus -- yesterday morning in Indianapolis.

Fuller's time of 4.32 seconds for the FORTY YARD DASH fell short of Chris Johnson's 4.24 forty time -- the time he needed to beat to earn a $1 million bonus from Adidas.

I still think this time is going to earn him at least a million dollar bonus -- as he's now being discussed as a FIRST ROUND DRAFT PICK.

Did Will Fuller Do Enough to Go in First Round?

That seems to be the consensus after the Notre Dame student-athlete turned heads with his 4.32 40 yard dash, 33.5" vertical jump, 10'-7" broad jump and catching everything thrown his way in Indianapolis...
