CBS claimed Holliday runs a 4.27 40 but it was CBS.

First of all, Demps does have a faster time than Holliday in the 100 Meter, take that for what it's worth.

Second of all, Demps played football before he started running track. He just knew how fast he was and decided he would run track.

Guess that was a pretty good decision, huh?

who the hell cares. Demps looked plenty fast when he was running all over your asses saturday night. Maybe you should have put Holliday in to try and catch Demps after he ran by/over all your other defenders

Maybe so, but that's racing. Holiday cares more about football than racing and so doesn't pretty much everyone here. The 40 yard run is the most relevant gauge of speed in football. I have no idea what Holiday or Demps times are on these runs.


As mentioned previously, Demps is a Football first guy... He is also our leading rusher this year. Where is Holliday ranked in your lineup? I think that fact alone discounts the notion that Demps is a track guy, while Holliday is a Football guy.

Finally, the 40 yard dash is rarely, if ever, close to accurate. Even when they are claimed to be "laser timed," they are usually off. As I mentioned before, the 100 yard dash is the shortest olympic event, which is why it is most often cited by by college football fans (LSU and FL alike) when bragging about Holliday and Demps, respectively.

Another poster mentioned that Holliday has a better indoor 60 time than Demps. That may be true, but Demps didn't run indoor track in High school, so he's never even had had a chance to beat Holliday's time, even if he could. Demps has only run the 60 meter once, and he recorded a 6.71 at an outdoor track.
