Well, I mean, it was real, as real as any other combine time before electronic timing was used.
Except that if you actually research the claim you will find that he very likely didn't even perform this feat at the "Combine" as you know it today; but yet at a "special session" in front of a handful of scouts. This essentially means that the time holds as much comparative legitimacy as a time ran on any untested school track: not much.
Like I said; no one can even give an exact place or time for this run. If you can't confirm even those basics, then you can't even confirm that the track was even 40 yards.

Well, it was done at Auburn, so you tell me if the track was 40 yards and untested
Bo said himself that he ran a 4.13 electronic time then. Stop watches were even faster. You don't want to believe it, that's fine, but acting like it is completely absurd for anyone to believe it is a silly position to take.

Who gives a shite? The story is the dude ran a legendary 4.12 hand time by scouts. End of story. Will live forever in enjoyment for us to use as arguments against other team's scrubs.
