New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. is so confident he can outrun anyone he's willing to put thousands of dollars on the line to prove it.

The 34-year-old issued the challenge during an appearance on "The Lefkoe Show" on Wednesday, telling host Adam Lefkoe he'll race anyone "pole to pole" for $10,000 or more.

Matthew Boling, a senior sprinter at Strake Jesuit College Preparatory in Houston, decided to take Ginn up on the challenge.

Boling set a national high school record at the Texas University Interscholastic League State Track and Field Championships earlier this month after running the 100-meter dash in 10.13 seconds.

Ginn was clocked at 4.37 in the 40-yard dash ahead of the 2007 NFL Draft while recovering from a sprained foot.
