Sports Science guy on Fournette: Can create same momentum as 500-lb tiger

His speed is elite, but it’s not so fast that the force he’s experiencing is too much for his body. That’s what happens to smaller running backs.

I have literally never heard of someone being too fast. Perhaps he is trying to say that running too fast creates a ton of shearing force on tendons and ligaments when a back tries to cut at full speed?

And he's coming to Tuscaloosa to take their porridge.

Ok this is just stupid. Fournette is about as fast as running backs come. Smaller running backs are less durable because they're smaller and weaker, not because they're too fast

This claim is utter nonsense. LF7 at 20.5 mph generates approximately 3900 ft.lbs./sec momentum whereas a 500 lb tiger at 35 mph generates over 25k ft.lbs./sec. It is not even close. I do not understand how he could make such an obviously absurd assertion.

They also said fournette can make a cut in .2 seconds, faster than the blink of an eye which takes .5 seconds.....

Idk who takes .5 seconds to blink but a lot of their info is miscued or exaggerated
