OH and at the age of 40 he clocked an official 4.2 at in 2000. http://www.darrellgreen.com/bio/ Movie in the left hand side. His best run claimed was a 4.09
It bet it was Joey Galloway. I recall that supposedly broke 4.10 the year he was drafted. He is about the fastest i have seen in the NFL other that Green but those 40 times have to be bs.
It wasnt Joey Galloway even though he is fast. It was one of the other recievers trying to make the team at the time. I wanna say Antonio Bryant but I think it was another guy. They showed him running a route and breaking his leg in a weird way.
I remember watching a met-rx Challenge thingy they have for Pro Athletes and Lavar Arrington beat all these super fast dudes in a long race.
I remember the guy you are talking about. I think he said he was so fast because he was "always running from thugs" or something like that, in New York City. I'm trying to remember his name, it's on the very tip of my tongue. Reggie something? I want to say Reggie Swinton, but I don't think that's it. As for fastest, (we've had a discussion on this guy) but in a preseason game, they were always talking about how Antonio Brown, the Bills' punt returner ran a 4.18 in the offseason(I think). He's gotta be up there.
I think the guy you guys are talking about is Randal Williams. I heard the same thing. For those that don't know who he is, he ran back that onside kick the Eagles did to start the game during the season. If it means anything, he ran that back in like 4 seconds, though he probably already went 5-10 yds before the clock guy started the clock IIRC. I would think he'd do better if he was so fast. I thought he was going to break out this year since he was beginning to run routes better plus catch the ball well. He'd be a nice weapon since he's like 6'3, I think, and has at least some speed I guess.
Yeah Darrell Green would be up there, but I was talking fairly recently. Anything under a 4.2 is BS...i.e. Dante Hall. The VaTech, Miami, and other campus times are blown up to make their S&C look better. It's often hand-timed as well. Buchanon is up there too.
Buchanon is incredible, once he's at full speed there are few who can catch him. James Jett had Olympic speed but the hands stone. Jeff George was the only QB who could actually hit him on the numbers 50 yards downfield.
"Bullet" Bob Hayes 10.05 100m (Gold medal, World Record, 1964 Tokyo Olympics) 39.06 400m relay anchor (came from fifth place to first within 100m, winning the gold medal, and setting a world relay record) Here's an account of his performance: Six days after winning the gold standard of speed in the 100 meters, his contribution to the men's 4x100 meters relay was equally spectacular. After some poor baton exchanges, the United States was in fifth place, trailing France by around three meters when Hayes started his anchor leg. In what track watchers said was one of the most astonishing displays of sprinting ever seen at the Olympics, Hayes took the lead after a third of his leg and crossed the finish line a good three meters ahead of the Polish runner in second place. His speed inspired the zone defense. I wish I could have seen him play, seen his 400m Olympic performance.
That guy was really fast. I remember back in the mid 90's when the raiders had Rocket Ismail, Jett and Alexander Wright. That has to be one of the fastest group of recievers ever. The downside is they had about the worst hands i have ever seen.
No Kidding, give Timmy Brown's hands to any of those guys and it would have been lights out. Jett held the starting job opposite Brown until Andre Rison came in in the 2000 Season, If you remember he caught the Raiders only TD against New England in the Snow Job Game.
What's more amazing Hayes' comeback or the fact that France and Poland were in the 4 x 100 Olympic relay finals?
