Not very nice to call him that, with him being young and all.

Any way, 5.2 sounds like he is right aboot average.

anything worse then a 4.1 and he should probably give up sports........

5.2 is pretty solid.

Thanks for the info

Just let your kid play because he likes sports. If he's any good you'll know because of gifts from agents, not his 8th grade 40 time.

Believe me Im not that guy. My kid just told me his 40 time and I was just wondering how that compares.

Duh. The fast freak kids are a good bit faster that 5

Well he used the term "freak."

Your kid running a 5.2 Is good man.

For a little more perspective, we had a kid run a 4.78 in 8th grade years ago. His name was lyndrell mikell, and his senior year in high school he finished 4th in the 5A state track meet in the 100, and 5th in the 200.

He ran a legit 4.4 during football drills his senior year.

Those are the kids I would classify as "freak."

We got one this year who ran a 4.85 at 150 pounds and about 5'8". That dudes calfs are absolutely huge, and he looks like a stud athlete. That is the kind of kid I can foresee being bigger stronger and faster then everyone he plays against throughout high school and running 4.4 or 4.5 carrying some weight. Those are the freaks.

But denham high has a sophomore tailback this year who ran about a 5.2-5.3 when he played for me at about 145 pounds.

Then he hit his growth spurt and is built like a brick house at 185 right now and coaches clocked him at 4.6 this summer. Not bad for a 15 year old.

He hit a level of maturity later than the other kids in his age group, but he has really developed into an athlete
