Adidas offering an island to prospect who breaks 40-yard dash record

Adidas is going off the map with its reward for any NFL draft prospect that breaks the record time in the 40-yard dash at the scouting combine.
The apparel company announced Monday that it will offer the prospect that clocks in at under 4.24 seconds the opportunity to win an island. The reward will only be honored if the player that breaks the record does so while wearing Adidas' 5-Star 40 cleats and meets all other requirements.
This isn't the first time Adidas has offered a reward for breaking the combine's dash record. The company offered an endorsement deal in 2013, $100,000 in both 2014 and 2015, and $1 million last year.
Chris Johnson's record time of 4.24 has stood for the past nine years.
