So, does JJ win the 911 Turbo?

NFL wouldn't let them giveaway Porsches due to deal with GM, so instead their giving $100,000. Not sure if JJ qualifies. Athlete had to run in Adidas cleats, but JJ is posing in front of Adidas poster(w/Snoop).

3 Stripe Salute to @_ThaJizzleMan for running the fastest 40 of any WR and doing it in adizero #UNCAGED.

Looking like he's $100K richer...

I read that he was not awarded anything because he did not sign with Adidas. They awarded the next 3 fastest times instead.

Yeah, they awarded the 3 fastest times that signed with Adidas.
If I was Nike, I'd sign JJ & do a commercial making fun of Adidas not giving $100k to the fastest guy who just lost his college football program.

J.J. Nelson says he was 'never offered' an Adidas contract, which would have netted him $100,000 for the fastest NFL Combine 40-yard dash
