6.9 is seriously slow.
I bet most the faster NFL guys would go 6.6-6.7 in a 60m only because its not much different than a 40y and chemically its no different ATP source. So they'd be faster at 60 than you'd think up there with the best in track.
Whole other world after that, Lots of guys do 6.6-6.7 indoors then can't touch 10.3 outdoors.
The fast NFL guys would barely be under 11. Some of the leaner, taller guys would get under 10.5. Watching the last 40m of these guys would be funny. You're only running for 10 seconds too, but its harder than it looks.
Most pure 100m guys in Track do 6.50i/10.00basic/20.3-20.8 so the drop off for 100m track guys is pretty big. NFL'ers would be even bigger drop off, estimate a 6.60i/10.40-10.60basic/21.5-22.5 and thats for the fastest 40y guys.
Deceptively fast at 60m, unprepared for 100m and hopelessly outmatched for 200m.
what the hell are u talkin about, dude?
jamaal charles never broke 6.6 and he was a track guy before he became a football guy (been running nearly his entire life). Rarely better than 6.7s (and only when he weighed 15lbs lighter than he does now). look at the results. most of the time, these guys come out and run 6.8-6.9 at best, some even slower. Randy Moss ran 6.3 55m and he is one of the 'fast' guys.
Almost no college FBers are in the 6.6s and the few that are in the 6.7s are guys that are track guys that happen to play football, for the most part.
hell, Teddy Williams was better in track than he was in football, but he got a look because he was athletic.

For those of you who are ignorant, Bob Hayes "only" ran 10.06. But it was on a cinder track,on the inside lane which was chewed up,and he did it in borrowed shoes. NO ONE on any of your so called lists,with the exception of Jim Hines, could carry Bob Hayes' jock. Hayes didn't even train full time for track, as he was training mainly for football. No one could run like Bullet Bob, before, or since. Check out his relay split time in 1964. Best ever.

Yep, he is on the wikipedia list.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_100_meter_times_by_NFL_players#Wind-assisted_times
His 10.10 was wind aided, and at an altitude of 2065m.
If you adjust his best times to the equivalent run at sea level with no wind (see my post on page 2), they are both equal to 10.26:
10.10 +2.5 10.26 (altitude 2065m)
10.16 +2.0 10.26

Jonathan Wade is from my hometown. I will never forget witnessing him absolutely dominate other really good sprinters his senior yer of high school. At the state meet, he ran 10.21/20.58 wind legal. He was with the Dolphins last year; not sure what he's doing currently.

Also saw Trindon's 10.00 in both the NCAA semi and final in Fayetteville in 2009.
I, like most track fanatics, am curious how fast he could be with a few years of professional track....

He was better at track than football, much like Trindon, Marquise Goodwin, and all the others.

Trindon Holliday finished second in 100Meters at National Championship, and passed on a spot on Berlin WC Team to return to LSU and play football.

What's your point?
He was better at track than football. He is a return specialist that finally landed a solid gig with the Broncos. With him never going to be a 9.6-8 guy, it pays better and makes sense.
