Yes, you read that right.\u00a0<\/span>Katt Williams<\/a>\u00a0ran the 40-yard dash this week. And ya might want to squint hard twice before reading this next — the 52-year-old comedian clocked in at an impressive 4.97 seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n This feat went down at the Dallas Cowboys’ training headquarters in Frisco, Texas, where the comedian was brought in to put on the performance of a lifetime (on the field, anyway). You can see from video posted by Dallas’ ABC affiliate WFAA showing Williams dressed in his best sports attire — including cleats — as he takes off.<\/span><\/p>\n Williams’ dreadlocks fly in the air as he quickly picks up speed. When he finishes, the result is a hand-time 4.97 seconds. Remember, Williams is 52 years old and he’s only 5-foot-5, so it’s not like he had giant strides helping him along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n For a little context: Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott ran the 40-yard dash in 4.79 seconds back in 2016 when he was only 22. And Jason Kelce, standing at an intimidating 6-feet, 3-inches and 282 pounds, <\/span>clocked in at 4.89 seconds<\/a>\u00a0at the 2011 NFL Combine. Kelce’s time proved to be the fastest among all offensive lineman at that Combine.<\/span><\/p>\n But, again, it’s worth reminding everyone that Williams is 52 (!!!).<\/span><\/p>\n And for the record, the fastest recorded 40-yard dash time belongs to wide receiver John Ross, who <\/span>clocked in at an astounding 4.22 seconds<\/a> in 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n The on-field performance comes two months after Williams ignited a storm with jabs directed at several of his big-name peers during an appearance on\u00a0Shannon Sharpe’s\u00a0<\/span>Club Shay Shay<\/a><\/em>\u00a0<\/span>YouTube show<\/a>\u00a0and podcast.<\/span><\/p>\n In that three-hour interview, Williams took shots at Cedric the Entertainer, Kevin Hart, Steve Harvey and others. In doing so, Williams\u00a0seemingly\u00a0<\/span>reignited a long-time feud between him and Hart<\/a>, whom he accused of being an industry plant on\u00a0<\/span>Club Shay Shay<\/span><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n “In 15 years in Hollywood, no one in Hollywood has a memory of going to a sold-out Kevin Hart show, there being a line for him, ever getting a standing ovation at any comedy club,” Williams said.\u00a0“He already had his deals when he got here…what do you think a plant is?”<\/span><\/p>\n A number of those Williams called out <\/span>responded<\/a> to the comments, <\/span>including Hart<\/a>, who told <\/span>WSJ Magazine<\/em><\/a>\u00a0“It’s just that; it’s entertainment,” when asked how he felt about the accusation that he’s an industry plant.<\/span><\/p>\n “If that’s what he fuels himself off, God bless him. Good for him. I hope he gets all that he needs and he wants, and I’m here cheering for him from afar,” he added. “That’s my real energy. I really mean it! That’s how happy and secure I am with my career and my life.”<\/span><\/p>\n
