September 24, 20223 yr All of you are wrong. It's Joey Galloway. Trust. He also had the highest vertical I have ever seen in person. I threw that dude a lob one time and I've never seen someone jump so high. Just an absolute physical specimen for a little dude.

Laughed a lot, showed me about the importance of penn state run ons. they are even selling Chad Powers 200 t shirts at thier game today, and anyone who runs faster than chad powers gets a free tee shirt. hope manning has his bros sense of humor with his skills when he arrives at the 40.
September 24, 20223 yr Deion and Green are the easy answers, but didn’t DK Metcalf recently get clocked at some ridiculous average velocity when he ran down a dude after an interception? I know all these one-off occurrences on a single play can catch any player on the fastest play of their career though. Then there are the guys who have an amazing couple years, like Dante Hall, Devin Hester, and this era’s Tyreek Hill. I’ll stick with Deion and Green because those guys went 4.2 their whole careers and it translated to dominance on the field and HOF.

September 24, 20223 yr look idiots....there is only 1 answer he did this on a cinder track running in the most dreaded lane ever (on a cinder track) lane #1.....and if you can't figure out why lane #1 was so dreaded on a cinder track, you don't need to be posting about who is fast.....

September 24, 20223 yr Guys I've noticed who haven't been mentioned who probably should have been at some point in this thread: Jeff Demps Trindon Holliday Jacoby Ford
September 24, 20223 yr He’s not the fastest ever but keep an eye on Bama’s Jameson Williams. He didn’t run the 40 at combine and won’t play for the Lions until week 8ish but his tape at Alabama is unreal. Freakish speed. There’s a reason the Lions traded up 20 spots in a WR loaded draft to get him.

From what I've seen highlight-wise - Bo Jackson and Randy Moss would be my top choices. Who are some other players that were virtually uncatchable with the ball? Fastest with the Ball? Deion Sanders.

(Nobody asked, but My 3rd autograph was Danny Darwin of Fannin County fame. Hard to imagine a bigger gap of excellence.) The Bonham Bullet was a quality reliever. No shame in that. You get to the 7th with a lead and hand the ball to DD, Larry Anderson, setting up Dave Smith….shit, game’s already over. Edited September 24, 20223 yr by Lhorn

September 24, 20223 yr Randy White chased down Wilbert Montgomery, Larry Allen chased down a Saints player. Mike Alstott is my answer.

September 24, 20223 yr wane mcgarity. I remember seeing him run really fast at DKR once. he should be in the discussion.
September 24, 20223 yr Big Jim Slade. He could be anywhere at the drop of a hat...no ball in hand, but no shoes either.

September 24, 20223 yr Before my era, but it seems like Bob Hayes and everyone elsehttps://olympics.com/en/athletes/robert-hayes“Bob Hayes is arguably the fastest sprinter of all-time before the Usain Bolt era.”

September 24, 20223 yr I tend to remember me being much faster than I actually was as a younger man, so I'll leave "Steel Shank" of my list. I do dig fast women.

One of the most impressive plays I’ve seen was when he ran Tony Dorsett down like Dorsett was standing still.
September 24, 20223 yr 20 hours ago, CoachTex said: I know Darrell Green ran a 4.24 forty at age 42. Saw it on the DC news when I was visiting my grandmother one summer. He had to put a rookie in his place about being the fastest. 4.24 is insanely fast. 4.24 at 42 is unimaginable. Pffft. Half of this board can run at least a 4.5 forty. Wasn’t there a thread about this?
