You got Mercury right? Now tell me what other NFL back came out of that same West Texas State backfield?

Deion was a10.26 guy while at FSU. I do think he's running 10.08ish if he'd taken track seriously, but he didn't.

Jeff Demps for 10, unless your trivia is outdated.

Edit: To reflect 10.01

6. Jim Thorpe...

Willie Gault
Jeff Demps

And Fred Jackson is Coe College

Edit: Not sure this is what you want, but Ron Dayne was definitely nicknamed Thunder with the G-Men

Willie Gault
Jeff Demps

A quick internet search says some people claim Holliday ran a 10.00, but I don't think it is official. Demps at 10.01 is faster than any official time.

The mad bomber was Daryle Lamonica (Raiders!)

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!

He got that name because of his relationship with a speedy receiver out of Texas Southern who was scoring on long throws about once out of every catch, who was he?

 

[threelittleturds]

The Hammer was Fred Williamson for the Chiefs, he got KO'd in the Super Bowl.

Plus, he got to see Salma Hayek in a bikini while filming From Dusk till Dawn.
