If every NFL team had a 4x100 team with their four fastest players who wins?
If every NFL team had a 4x100 team with their four fastest players who wins?
New England Patriots team might be on paper one of the slowest, but you know they'd figure out a way to win:
Stephon Gilmore, Devin McCourty, Phillip Dorsett, Jonathan Jones
Look for the pro flag football teams. They're faster and lighter, but less muscled.
Today that would be the Chiefs
DeAnthony Thomas.....Sammy Watkins.....Tremon Smith....Tyreek Hill
Thomas ran on that Oregon 4x1 team
Watkins a former Florida State sprint champ
Tremon Smith a 4.3 guy
Tyreek Hill ran a 20.14 in HS when the record was 20.13
The Chiefs have always looked for speedy players,
Stone Johnson Olympic 200m/WR holder
Ken Thomas 10.0m
JoeDelaney 9.4
Warren McVea 9.5
Eddie Kennison....NFL Fastest Man...winner
Smmie Parker 10.17
Jamaal Charles 10.18
Obviously no team can compare with the Oakland Raiders when it comes to speed from an historical perspective.
They could run at least 4 fast 4x1 teams. Ah, the fantasy.
Check it out.
lane
3.Cliff Branch...Justin Fargas...Alexander Wright....Ron Brown
4.Jacoby Ford...Michael Bennett....James Lofton...James Jett
5.Willie Gault...Napolean Kaufman...Tim Dwight...Sam Graddy
6.Alvis Whiied....Bo Jackson...Bo Roberson...James Trapp
There have been at least 20 Olympic sprinters play in the NFL. Tons.....of sub 10.30/9.5 sprinters.
Just jivin' around.
All Time NFL 4x1......The Fantasy

9? Who ya got?
Once upon as time.....
Oregon ran a 4x1 WR, on that team.
Jerry Tarr a 13.3 hurdler who would be ranked number one in the world, Denver Broncos
Mel Renfro a 13.7/25-11/9.6 athlete, yep....Dallas Cowboys
Mike Gaecther I'm thinking a 9.8ish guy, Detroit Lions
The great Canadian Harry Jerome
When Bob Hayes was at FAMU he ran on a 4x1 team with pro footballers to be Bob Paremore (Cards) Al Denson (Broncos) and his HS rival Alfred Austin (beat up on Hayes at first)
NELA once beat all the big schools to win the NCAA4x1, on tat team pro footballers to be....
Joe Delaney Chiefs
Mark Duper Dolphins
Victor Otis....Jets? Could be wrong
Mario Johnson the non footballer
I don't think most get just how many national caliber tracksters have played pro football.
Professional football players are the greatest athletes on earth.
If they picked the four best and practiced a month they would beat the best track athletes in a 4x100 without question.
Just look at the miserable athletes we’ve put on relays, thoroughly incapable of even handing batons to each other. Doc Patton? Michael Rogers? Pretty worthless.
Even further, if you took a group of any SEC defensive backs and out them in a rowing shell, and let them practice a month, they would be gold medalists and crush these Ivy League effete.
Further, the only US luge and skeleton and bobsled athletes are from a 30 mile radius of Lake Placid, NY???
Please.
World class 100m sprinters are able to sustain/maintain a huge % of their max velocity, they decellerate at a slower rate due to superior spreed endurance. They train running 300's and are totally into building that endurance.
Football players don't train to run 100m, they lack that much needed speed endurance.
Yes,a speedy footbal, player can run with a national caliber sprinter in a 40, but at 50 we start to see the difference between a footballer and a trackster as the sprinter simply runs away.
These footballers/sprinters all ran a sub 10.10
John Capel
Xavier Carter
Bob Hayes
Alvis Whitted
Darrel Green
Trindon Holliday
Jeff Demps
Ron Brown
Sam Graddy
Leonard Scott
There are no just footballers who could ever hang with that gang under any circumstances.

Come on tampa red/notorious/brutal/perriott...that was NWLA, not NELA. Please try to keep up.
All time....................RGIII and Ted Ginn Jr. were world class hurlders
This is the correct answer.
Never ran vs a world class field. Never beat a world class hurdler.
RGIII was probably world class since he was NCAA Champion and a 49.xx.
Ginn never ran past high school, considering he only ran the 39" hurdles and the 300 hurdles, could not have been world class in either.

When did RGIII win the NCAA?

He didn't win NCAAs(finished 3rd), but it was still impressive for a guy who was supposed to still be in HS. He never ran again after that season except for a lone 200m at a home meet 3 years later.
2008: Graduated a semester early from high school to enroll at Baylor in January of 2008 to compete in spring football drills...NCAA All-American in the 400-meter hurdles, placing third with a time of 49.46...Clocked a career-best time of 49.22 to win the Big 12 Outdoor Championships...The time ranks as the third-fastest in Baylor history...Won the NCAA Midwest Region title with a region record time of 49.53...Competed in the 2008 U.S. Olympic Team Trials, finishing 11th overall with a time of 49.38.

Yes I know.
The guy never beat any 400 hurdler who would be called "world class". He never won the NCAA, he never made the finals of our Olympic trials. He was just a good college hurdler who knew tootball was his future.
My bad, I didn't verify it. I knew he was All-American and ran 49.XX.

That's a nice way to say they're a bunch of cheating scumbags
why are we talking about 300 hurdle times........Ginn ran a 13 low in the 110. Believe me Ginn was fast as crap
