You young guys have no concept of how much of a freak Cannnon was in his day. I ran track against him in high school. He won what would now be the 5A state title in the 100 and shot on the same day. There was one player (offensive lineman) bigger than him on the 58 team and he ran the hundred in 9.8. He ran over 6 players on that punt return.

I have always maintained that Cannon was either the fastest shot-putter or the strongest dashman in history.
That run was epic - in every way possible.
