Not sure if Tre White of LF7 are the best to do that this year.

Donte, chark, and fournette are supposedly the fastest. I doubt Tyron gets used in kick returns

I'm not sure, but I would guess that Donte Jackson is the fastest player on the team.

Donte Jackson has to be

Id rather have the best hands than the fastest player, just my shitty opinion.

an opinion that does not belong in this thread. see OPs title

Yeah, returning punts involves a lot more than speed. Hands, nerves of steel, and good decision making are probably all more important.

TJ is not very fast. He has good speed but not considered fast. There are a handful of guys faster then him. He has quickness and good speed. I could see him as the punt returner next year. Coaches trust White back there now.

Yeah may not crack the top 10 in speed. I think Chark, Guice, Both Fournette's, Adams, Dural, White, Jackson, and Ducre could beat him in straight line speed, but he brings the wiggle/vision with his speed that makes him compete.

Johnson runs a 4.52 in March 14'
i assume he has improved his speed in the past year

that still doesn't make him the fastest on the team. Perhaps in the top 10-15 on the team in terms of straight line speed. Donte runs in the 4.4's or even 4.3's. But TJ would still be a great punt returner for this team even if he doesn't have the fastest straight line speed.

Nobody on the team is faster than Donte Jaskson period!!!
Posted on 8/16/15 at 9:54 am to GRIZZ
Yea that number is not real. Guide numbers that posted weren't real either
Posted on 8/16/15 at 10:06 am to TigerFan244
Like every one has said donte is the fastest. Don't count out Guice in the return game either
Posted on 8/16/15 at 10:09 am to jledet
I hope whoever it is, he can make guys miss. Nothing worse than seeing a return man constantly run straight into contact.
Posted on 8/16/15 at 10:11 am to TigerFan244
Speed + agility + vision + strength = awesome return guy
It's not all about being fast.

it also makes him more than "not very fast".
read what i responded to. Its not that hard

4.52 is not fast my friend. As I said, he has very good speed but not fast or near the fastest. You obviously don't know what "fast" really means or is if you combat what I said with 4.52 as if you just posted a world class 100m time.
