Peyton vs. Dirk: Who Would Win A 40 Yard Dash?
DENVER (CBS4) - A new video posted to the CBSSports.com Instagram page pokes fun at Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning and NBA star Dirk Nowitzki.
Neither veteran player is known in their sport as a speed demon -- in fact they are generally thought to be far from it.
Nowitzki, apparently quite aware of this, tweeted the following:
Had this debate the other day in the locker room: Who wins a 40 yard dash between me and Peyton Manning???

In response CBSSports.com created a classic video which features their humorous version of how the race would look:
Some Broncos players have heard about Nowitzki's comments and are now making predictions. Here's linebacker Von Miller's take:
That would be epic! Over/under 5.7? I got Peyton by 1.5yds lol???? https://t.co/2fc227hDvQ
