"5-10, 215 pounds"

He may have weighed a bit less in college, but not much considering he played RB there too. At 5'10 he'd have to have weighed a whole lot less, like under 185, way too skinny for that position. He ran 20.01 for 200 and in all likelihood he could still beat 53.79 at 215.

6 foot 1/225 pound Herschel Walker was a 4x400 relay All American and SEC champ too. Considering that he stayed in sports after quitting football, it wouldn't surprise me if he could still beat 53 at age 52.

I just said two things..

dont list someones FULL football weight from 2014 and compare it to their college track and field weight 6 YEARS EARLIER.....in 2008!!!!

You absolutely have no idea what you are talking about..

Here you are looking up someones height and weight on wikipedia for their football season and comparing it to their weight when they ran track 6 FULL YEARS AGO!!!!!!!

WOW! now talk about funny.. that was funny..

Its funny how this persons weight was listed as 195lbs going into their first full year of college while being recruited..

Oh yeah but according you they ran their college years in track in the 400 at a full 223lbs right?

YOu have no clue what you are talking about.

And lets say they even ran at their full weight of 195lbs during football in college while running track,,, Lets just say they didnt lose any weight...

THEY ARE STILL 3 inches taller! and a full 20lbs LIGHTER>...

Yet again goes to show that none of you have any clue what training for the 400 does to a persons bodyweight..

None of you have any clue how much 20lbs does to someones times..

And no there are no college athletes heavier than 214lbs and 6'0 and below.... that run the 400..

So you are wrong on that..

What makes you think that if someone at the olympic level isnt even over 184lbs then someone in college is going to be over 214lbs running the 400?

Did you ever see how skinny college runners are? They are even skinnier than the pros..

Please make me laugh even harder.. As you all try to come up with people that cant even compare.

OP I love you dude. Do what makes you happy. Ignore the haters.

go to the gym, pick up a 25 lb weight and tell me how heavy it feels in your hands.. Now put that in a backpack and run a 400 with it... TEll me what your time was.

I can sit in front of my computer making up times, too. Where's the proof these times are real? Do you have any official race times? Open college meets? Masters? FAT?

Put 3 inch heels on and tell me how they feel on your feet. Now put on those heels and run 400 with them. Tell me what your time was.

And where is your video of you weighing yourself and calibrating the scale so we know it's true? (I'm a little afraid he has one)

It's kinda fun making this loony dance, but I feel a little guilty too.

6'5"

260lb

Over 6 ft. Doesn't count. Has to be short, heavy, and a mediocre 400m runner.

Is anyone else reminded of Robert Vervloet, the Sport Jester.

Is there some prize for this that people are unaware of?

I recently set a 10km WR for the most hideously mismatched outfit.

In training.

Anyone else want to list someones full NFL football weight and compare it to their COLLEGE track season weight?

you all act like just because someone is 224lbs during football that is exactly what they weighed during track..

Heres a clue.. im around 230 in the winter.. I literally only run track and lift 2 days a week and im down to 210...

What do you think i would weigh if i ran track 5 or 6 days a week like most college and pros do?

Lets go keep up the comparing between full bodyweights in football and try to just protray that as their weight when they were competing in track... Yeah because thats logical.

Someone running 54 seconds wouldn't get in meets in high school, much less college. Todd Gurley ran 10.8 100m in high school. He may not be as fast now at 230 lbs at 6 ft, but I guarantee he could jog a 54 second 400m. It's just that no one would think to measure and record such an inconsequential feat.

I would bet money that if you weighed and measured every one of the thousands of high school boys who run faster than that, or you took every college football team (not to mention every weight-lifting frat boy, lacrosse bro, etc...) to the track for 400s, there would be hundreds who could run 400m in under 54 seconds (which you have no proof of, btw) at over 210 lbs and 6 ft or under.

And yes I do know what weight does. I'm a 250 lb, 40 something recreation runner who runs a 23 minute 5k but couldn't run 400m under a minute (never tried however). I know what the weight feels like. As I said before, my son is 230 lb and runs 50.5 400m at the end of a decathlon first day, but it doesn't count because he's 6-5.

Give us a hint. I don't want to look bad.

Man you've got some serious self esteem issues. I'm serious when I say I recommend talking to someone. You're never going to get happy boasting on a message board.

Mike Smith, Canadian decathlete. 47.06 400m at 225 lbs. Oh wait, he's 6-5, so the fact that he ran seven seconds faster than the OP doesn't count.

I know of a 6'3", 198 pound guy who ran 44.26.

He also ran 1:43.44 for 800.

I have proof if you want it.

37 years ago I ran 47 flat at 215 pounds and 6'2.I ran 46.4 at 185.

So I don't know what you're smiling at.

Heres the video of 53.79 at 6'0 and 214lbs.. A full 4lbs heavier.. I was just getting so strong at the gym ,, that i made up for the extra weight and got faster in my 4 by 200 workout before this race..
