Aaron Rodgers was quick to shoot down a tweet about his 40-yard performance at the NFL combine 12 years ago.
The NFL’s Twitter account posted a tweet with video of Rodgers’ 2005 combine run, and listed his time as 4.71.

It’s not clear if Rodgers is just having a little fun, or actually believes the listed time is wrong, but the NFL’s official stats list his combine time at 4.71.
Ultimately, does it really matter? Twelve years later, Rodgers has compiled a Hall of Fame career, a Super Bowl victory and enough gas in the tank to potentially rack up another.
