I caught the replay of the Alabama vs Auburn 1982 game yesterday when another freshman -Vincent 'Bo' Jackson - broke a long run up the same left sideline from about the same position on the field as LF did last night.

Bama DB Jeremiah Castille - who BTW played some in the NFL himself - had a similar angle to what the A&M DB had on LF - and also caught him.

I think LF is "average fast" for D1 college football but his size-speed ratio is well above average.

I think this is the correct answer.

Camparing anyone to hands down the greatest and most freakish athlete of all time is quite unfair. Bo ran in sub 4.2!! I would say Fournette is a legit 4.45 which is very elite for a 6'2" 230 lb 18 year old. He also ran 10.6 100 meter
