Cannon was bigger (6’1”, 207 to 5’9”, 185), probably stronger and most likely faster. He ran a 9.4 100 yard dash, which converts to a 10.28 100m. That was less than .2 off of the world record at the time.

Cannon was an athlete that could have competed in any era.

Billy Cannon was bigger, faster and stronger than Mathieu by a lot as far as size. His hands would crush yours during a handshake. Ran in the low 10 100 meters sub 9 100 yard dash. Played TE in the pro’s FWIW and was very good. The prisoners called him legend for a reason and never screwed with him. He was a BAD dude.
Tommy Casanova was bigger than the entire secondary not too long ago (Saw a pic taken long ago with the secondary that included Adams - he dwarfed them).
