Three NFL Players Will Win Custom Porsche 911 Carrera With Cheetah Graphics

Being the fastest runner in the NFL Scouting Combine sure has its advantages. Besides bragging rights, prospects with faster 40-yard dash times usually get picked higher in the draft and are subsequently rewarded with more lucrative contracts, but sporting apparel maker Adidas is sweetening the deal for this year's participants. In this case, the three NFL prospects with the fastest 40-yard dash times will each receive a "custom" Porsche 911 Carrera. But, as with everything else in life, there's a catch.

In order to win these white 911s with gold wheels and their questionable cheetah wraps, the prospects must first sign an endorsement contract with Adidas before the combine takes place later this month. Those who choose to sign with Adidas (and are one of the top three sprinters) are then eligible to lay claim to one of these Porsche coupes. USA Today reports that last year's fastest man, Brandin Cooks (now wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints), received $100,000 from Adidas for his 4.33-second 40-yard time. Just for comparison, a base 2015 911 Carrera costs $84,300, but that doesn't include the gold wheels or the cheetah plastered on each side of the car, which is probably enough to leave Ricky Bobby and his "ME" cougar a little jealous.

In the end, the car and the giveaway are aimed at creating a little buzz for Adidas' latest football cleats, the Adizero 5-Star 40. The cleats weight just 4.7 ounces and make use of high-strength, low-weight materials.
