Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said the same thing, but only after initially getting the time wrong and having to correct himself.

Worthy got two tries at the 40. His first run was 4.25, but he knew he could top that. Then he cranked out 4.21 on the second attempt. He was initially clocked at 4.22, which would have tied him with John Ross for the fasted 40 ever at the combine, but Worthy’s time was correctly adjusted down to 4.21.
