He was definitely legit, but his football career changed him from being a a threat to the fastest sprinters in the world. He was at a disadvantage when strength and speed are necessary for success.

I’m curious, how many Olympic sprinters have we had that were current NFL players over the past 30 years? I have no clue.

I agree there is no way he can hang now, but if he'd stayed in track meaning no football he would be in the current mix at 200m. His HS 20.14 takes 6th in the last Oympic 200m.

Lions running back Javid Best ran for Saint Lucia in the 2016 Olympics, a former Cali State 100m champion.

TCU has 8 sub 10.00 sprinters among the alum. The Big10 has never had a sub10.00 sprinter, hard to believe, DK might win this conference., ok maybe not.

Tyreek Hill ran a 20.14 in HS.

These are the SEC 200m heats...



Yes just trying to move on, expect to see a sub 20.00 in the final.

Laird and Boling legit shots at NCAA success and a spot on our Olympic team.

Metcalf would have had to have ran a sub 9.95 to make the Olympic 100m team. I can see a 10.25ish with more training but he's not close to legit sprinters.

Curious about was he thinking he could actually run with these guys, he wasn't even an NCAA sprinter.

  • Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance

Watch this...

Who here can tell me the first NFL running back to be world ranked in a 100m? Ah....when in college before his NFL days.

Ever notice nobody can answer shit, ha!

  • Exaggerate achievements and talents
