Fans of Katt Williams need no further information about how talented the award-winning stand-up comedian is. Yet, usually, he displays his skills on stage, working himself into a sweat thanks to his colorful antics running around the stage while making everyone in attendance laugh their asses off.
But it turns out Williams has one more skill that’s gone unnoticed this whole time, an athletic ability that actually bests some current NFL athletes.
Williams is 52 years old. He’s not training to have a football career or anything close. However, that doesn’t mean the popular comedian doesn’t stay in good shape. That was on full display recently when Williams participated in a 40-yard dash, showing surprising quickness for the 5-foot-5 comedian.

It turns out, Katt Williams can actually run a 40-yard dash than most NFL offensive linemen, yet, they also weigh at least 100 pounds more than him. Still, Williams’s athleticism is impressive for a person who’s primary job is to make everyone laugh. No one was laughing when Williams clocked a 40-yard dash time of 4.97 seconds.

If we were to evaluate Williams as a pro football prospect, obviously his age would be a major red flag. Scouts wouldn’t like his height, and he’d be docked for not having NFL size. Plus, while his 4.97 40 time is impressive for the average civilian, at his size, he’d be asked to play receiver, running back, or cornerback, and let’s be honest, that’s not quite NFL speed for any of those positions.
Yeah, that’s right, we just roasted Katt Williams, but at the same time, we’re impressed with his abilities away from the microphone. Let’s just hope he doesn’t quit his day (night) job any time soon because he’s much better performing on stage.
