Ted Ginn Jr. says he'll race anyone for $10K, HS track phenom responds
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.
