Everybody was faster than Marcus.

Walker was faster than O.J. but close. Bo vs O.J. hmmm?

O,J,took 6th in both the the NCAA 60 and 100 and ran a leg on a world record 4x1 team while at USC. Lion WR to be Earl McCullouch leading off.

I'll give that OJ could outrun Dupree, but not Bo or Herschel.

What did Bo ever do in track, well? Forget the 40, what did he ever do at Auburn in track?

Walker like Simpson was a legit track guy and like Simpson he placed in the NCAA 100.

Marcus Dupree was out leaned at the Mississippi State Champs in the 100 by Calvin Smith, Smith a future 100m world record holder at Alabama.

Avante,

My search results show different times for Faulk, Peterson, & CJ.

Can you link to where you got these numbers so I can compare?

I'm guessing you didnt watch him sprint past frickers in the secondary that had the angle on him and still couldn't catch him last night...right?

Running backs.

This isn't really a matter of debate.

Jordan Poyer ran a 4.5. Tre White ran a 4.4. Micah Hyde also ran a 4.5. Those are the three guys he ran away from

Bottom line...

TONS of NFLers were HS/college track guys. Henry a HS track guy, while he is fast for his size he really isn't all that vs some of the others who were RB's. Just keeping it in persoective.

I want you to google Emmitt Smith's (who I assume you'll agree that's a top 3 RB all time) 40 time. Then compare it to Derrick Henry's. Then account for size.

You're suggesting that Bo wasn't faster than OJ?

If not, then never mind.

* OJ had the more celebrated track career, but so what ? Bo was still faster.

First off Emmitt barely makes the top 10 and speed was never his game. He had a great burst and a montrous O line,

Bo has a 100 yard PR of 9.5, O.J. 9.4

Once again what did Bo ever do on the track, yep, nothing.

Yeah, I don't buy those numbers.

And once again, it's what he did on the football field, not 'track'. And yes, I'll allow combines as ' football ', because it's not a sanctioned track event.
