Is there anything that backs up the idea that increasing hip flexibility will make you a faster runner?
also, I think I saw Jimmy Radcliffe running with Nick Symmonds in Nick's first driven video.

whatever they do obviously works
It might be that training linemen is different, and that's not what any of us are here. Maybe a lot of those guys a shufflers.
But there are an awfully lot of stretching people running around with egg on their face for pushing that stretching garbage that science has shown to be worthless. I've noticed that younger coaches seem to "get it" but older coaches (and researchers) seem to want to come up with excuses to keep doing what they've always been doing.
On straight technical grounds, you increase stride length by increase strength and power rather than increasing flexibility (which is another word for overstriding). You keep the same angles, but you get more force behind them.
Lots of coaches do stuff like hurdle mobility for runners/sprinters, but I doubt that there's a single citation that this will make you faster. If you are a shuffler, doing drills like high knees that give you the ROM that allows you to run with the proper angles may have some benefit. You don't see too many linemen running like Bolt.
