Fusion Sport Smartspeed PRO to be Featured at First Ever NFL Draft Town in Chicago’s Grant Park
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 24, 2015 -- The 40-yard dash, powered by Fusion Sport, will be hosted at Draft Town’s Combine Corner. To simulate the experience even more, participants in 4 lanes will race alongside a pre-recorded NFL star on a 40-yard long LED screen to see how close they match up. The Smartspeed PRO wireless speed and agility timing system, also featured at the NFL Regional Combines and the first NFL Veteran Combine in Arizona, will provide timing for the event. Smartspeed can be seen in use prior to Draft Town events on the upcoming one hour ESPN Sport Science Combine Special, April 27.
The 40-yard dash is one of the most talked about events at any combine experience. All four lanes of the runners’ times will be displayed with 1/1000th of a second accuracy on external Smartscore wireless scoreboards, allowing them to snap a picture with their times. Runners simply take their mark, get set, and go! To see how they compare, participants are encouraged to share pictures of their 40 times on twitter @Fusionsport_03, with the tag: #SmartspeedPRO.
