re: BK said speed was what sets the SEC apart from ND

What players always talk about when describing the difference between college and the pros is the speed at which the game is played. I think so many SEC players make the jump so quickly in the NFL because the SEC also covets speed.

Did he find it this year at LSU? Do we have the over all speed he is wanting ?

Absolutely he did.

You can find the size of players listed but not their speed. do we have anyone that stands out for their great speed?

You have to do a little digging and even then, you may not for all positions. There are specific drills that indicate speed that is helpful for a position. Skill positions should allow you to find their 40 times and even some track data for some of them. Even then, certain drills may be more indicative of position speed requirements than straight line speed. But straight line speed usually goes hand in hand with any other speed related drills for DBs, RBs and WRs, probably even linebackers, barring some injury or physical defect that limits cutting or side to side abilities.

All that being just my understanding, I am wrong way more often than I care to admit
