At 215 pounds and "consistently running 9.5 100-yard dash times" (per LSU sports.net), Cannon's measureables even without the benefit of modern training and diet suggest Cannon would have had no problem playing RB in the SEC today. I don't know if you can precisely convert 100 yard to 100 meter times, but I don't think LF ever ran better than a 10.6 or so. Cannon was probably faster than Fournette. Doesn't mean he was better, of course, but people seem to have a hard time believing that some white guys from way back then were fast.
