A rookie Arizona football player signed onto a three year contract with the Arizona Cardinals after impressing them with his amazing speed by running 25MPH on a treadmill during a training session.

Robert Gill, 29, is seen running almost as fast as the world's fastest man Usain Bolt for a few seconds in the viral video below. Bolt averaged 23.35 mph for the 100 meter when he set the world record in 2009.

The Cardinals website states that Gill had injured his hamstrings only a few weeks before his tryout, but he shows no sign of strain as he runs on the treadmill.

Gill clocked in at just 4.17 seconds for the 40-yard dash, which is standard for NFL players. His record beat Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson's time of just 4.24 seconds.

Gill was signed on despite having played college football. He was an undrafted free agent and is now NFL's oldest rookie.
