Anyone know what John Capel was clocked at when he played? IIRC he was an Olympic sprinter.

4.1s from what I remember, don't remember the exact numbers.

Thanks, I was sure one of the UF fans had an answer

I know it's been said before - but Reggie Bush, Hester, et al are probably nowhere close to the NFL's fastest straight-line player - what makes them seem so fast is their ridiculous amount of lateral thrust as well as knowing how to exploit angles, thus making every defender look like a JV player and giving them ability to put many a LB on skates. Speaking of which - Selvin Young is crazy fast for the Broncos.
