Re: Who is the fastest player in the nfl?
[ QUOTE ]
regardless, i would put a good deal of money that no one in the nfl clocks a 4.15 on an electronic timer. [/ QUOTE ] i forgot about that. are combine times done by hand? i believe the generally accepted procedure of roughly (ie not accurate but we'll play along) converting to electronic is to add .24 seconds, turning 4.15s into about 4.4s. |

I dont know who's the fastest NFL player, but the fact that it's not Trindon Holliday makes me happy.

Re: Who is the fastest player in the nfl?
Anyone know what John Capel was clocked at when he played? IIRC he was an Olympic sprinter.

For pure acceleration from a stand still to full speed is Jerious Norwood.

Willie Parker is nicknamed "fast" so he's obviously the fastest.

[/ QUOTE ] 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. /hijack |
