Of course if you have 2 guys the same speed, the guy carrying a football is gonna run a tad slower than someone who isn't, so I could see someone with an angle like Peterson or with 70-80 yards to try and catch him maybe get him. Still doubt it though

Trindon Holliday, only if he was playing right defensive end.

He has a really athletic way of whiffing on tackles.

Ugh.

When they mentioned Jenkins, I googled the highlights for their preseason game, and true to form, one play he stumbles on his way to what could have been a PBU, or he tackles right after someone catches it, or he's 7 days late and TD's ensue. :|

What NFL defender would be able to chase down Cooks from behind?


Defenders who can run 4.32 or faster.

The only active one I know is Jonathan Joseph. Peterson ran like a 4.34 or 4.35 at the combine.

Tie a few pounds of sirloin to his back and run him in front of Hicks.

These 2 posts make me think a bit. I don't think Jenkins is that fast in the 40, but the couple times he's chased guys down, he seems like he maintained/increased speed the entire run. Lots of "fast" guys give you 30 yd bursts, then taper off.

You're gonna need someone who's more of a 200 meter sprinter, one who can keep accelerating and running flat-out after the first 50-60 yds; Jenkins might be one of those guys. Can't remember if Peterson had that or not, I think he did.
