Stronger....absolutely
Lateral quickness....you never go full retard
Also Hershel Walker ran a 10.3 100 meters in 1981

maybe not that many after browsing. 30% of the top 10 are foreign though.

Sprinters train exclusively to run and be explosive in a straight line going forward. They don’t train at all to move laterally, stop and change direction immediately, etc.
Going full retard would be saying something “at best a 10.36 guy could get to 10.1 even with PEDs.” For example, Kendal Williams ran 10.35 today and has a 9.99 PR. Abdullah Mohammad ran 10.36 today and has a 10.03 PR.

Yes, Herschel Walker would qualify as one of those supposed super human athletes. So would bo Jackson. Your point?

Both of them would count as super human athletes you mock the nfl for allegedly having.

Still waiting for you to address what boldon said on the broadcast today. Or try to make a coherent point.

LSU has someone with a faster 100m that signed just in 2020
LSU has had multiple football players run faster than a 10.36. Trindon Holliday and Xavier Carter were both NCAA champs at the 100m. Holliday’s and Carter’s PRs are 10.00. There was some guy on here that said Metkalf would “smoke” Holliday simply because he’s short
that’s the kind of analysis I come here forThis post was edited on 5/9/21 at 5:29 pm

So the greatest sprinter in history was 20+ pounds lighter, and that proves what exactly? Stick to being a shitty troll on the OT

I seem to recall part of the reason he fell in the draft is he was an abomination when it comes to agility. Tom Brady was better in agility drills.

Correct, he’s huge and has elite top end speed for a football player but for a wide receiver, his lateral quickness is not great. But it doesn’t really matter with how big and fast he is.

Corradelle Patterson and DK Metcalf are clones. Both are phenomenal athletes that are extremely fast for how big they are.
Usain Bolt could add 25 pounds to his frame and still bust all but the top 20-25 sprinters in the world.

This thread is odd with people somehow claiming that everyone didn’t know that Bo Jackson, Herschel Walker, Darrel Greene and Willie Gault were exceptionally fast football players.
I mean I would expect Tyreek Hill to beat Metcalf. What exactly is the point?

Good comparison. Patterson is 6’2” 220 and his personal best 100m when he was in JUCO was 10.33.

Bolt could have easily added 20 lbs to his frame and still go sub 10.

How has OP not renamed this “Laugh at Pedro thread”

Considering Metcalf is huge, weighing in at like 235. That time is extremely impressive.
I knew there was zero chance of him qualifying, but he definitely ran faster than I have him credit for.
If he legit trained specifically for track, and dropped about 20 pounds, he could probably get down to below a 10.1 range maybe

Bob Hayes is the reason there are zone defenses in the football. Fact. He changed the NFL he was so fast.

Safe to say he wasnt that fast at all
Seeing as no one had trouble tracking him down
In the hundreds in yards per carry
He is no Derrick Henry
