Boling blows past GA football player

What does have to do with with yes we have guys with no HS football actually star in pro football?

There is a pro rassler mamed Braun Strowman who is 6-8 380 pounds and can run (we see him in chase mode all the time) I have no doubts he could handle any NFL lineman one on one.

TONS of sprinters with no football experience who could blow by any NFL corner.

Football just isn't all that complex. I had it down by 9.

But for those of you saying Boling should play football, it ain't that easy. Lots of elite sprinters have tried to play in the NFL. Some had success, many did not. Being fast helps, but it's not everything. American Football is a fairly complex sport.

I agree with this.

So what? He's a track athlete and the other guy is a football player. The football player, if drafted will be financially better than Boling in the long run.

Hahahahaha that's not even anywhere close to being the truth.

Even if the guy gets an NFL contract through the draft, a very small percentage stick to a team.

And those that do (making millions in the process): 78% are bankrupt within 2 years of leaving the league.

When Hayes was in the NFL there were two other NFLers who had beat him in their college days, who?

Hayes was a 5-11 195 pound RB at Florida A&M, his game was football. A football player who just happened to be the fastest human on earth.

Jim Hines was a sprinter the Dolphins tried to make into a footnall player, a failed experiment. Just like Frank Budd, Ray Norton and Tommie Smith.

There has never been any NFLer faster than Bob Hayes, his 10.06 on a shoddy dirt track some 50ish years ago is STILL the most awe inspiring display of speed ever seen by any NFL player.

There have been 15 Olympic sprinters play in a pro football game, who?

Renaldo Nehemiah. Former WR 110 hurdles and first under 13 seconds. He amazed the football world during a Super Stars competition with his multiple victories. Played 3 years for SF before returning to track

Recently, Jeff Demps won a silver as part of the 4x100 relay in 2012, but it was stripped after Gay tested positive.

Career NFL stats: He had like 1 carry in the NFL and 2 receptions. Bounced around, 4 or 5 teams.

Give me the names of nine other Olympic sprinters who ran on the 4x1 and played pro football?

Only 7 2019 players are currently viewed as NFL draft prospects and only 11 Georgia alum are playing in the NFL.

That BLOWS my mind. That few? Really?

Then why does ESPN list 47 Georgia players in the NFL?

Is this even ncaa compliant? Has Georgia started practice already for track?

Give me a dozen pro footballers who have ran a sub 14/14.00 110hh.

There are other ways to make big money.

Top football programs, especially those in the south - Florida, Georgia, LSU, are loaded with great sprinters so yes, Boling blowing by a GA "football player" is meaningful.

He was blowing last mecole hardman or something. Did you not see the guys running? They had slow dudes racing the coaches smh. Since you know zero about football I'll also let you in on a secret that all teams have fast kids. They may come out of the south in hs but they're everywhere in college. Umass for crying out loud had one of the fastest guys at the combine.

Only 11 Georgia alum from the 2018 playoff team are in the NFL. I should probably proof read before I post....?

I'm ending this speculation. This is the guy that was owned by Matt Boling

I'll let the community decide whether or not this man is fast.
