I'll go real real slow....
The most important factor in any football game is.........team speed. Want me to say it again........team speed. Size with speed.....got it dummy?
You talked about Jerry Rice, ok amigo why wasn't he drafted higher.....HIS 40 TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You talked about Earl Campbell, well what about 9.4 guy 0.J.Simpson? You mentioned Barry Sanders, are you saying he didn't have great speed, hahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What back has the best average ever.......Jamaal Charles, a 10.18 guy. Eric erson was a 9.4 sprinter, Adrian Peterson was a 10.3 guy. Herschel Walker ran a 10.23, Bo Jackson a 10.33, Deion Sanders a 10.26.
Dude, the big guys in the SEC can all run, ok? Tell me shorty just how important is a 40 time.....IT'S HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now sit your boney little ass down, got it! So what did you learn today.....
Team Speed Kills
Rice's record-breaking season at Mississippi Valley caught the attention of many NFL scouts, but his speed (reportedly only 4.692 in the 40-yard dash)
[6] kept most wary, although there were apparently at least two exceptions: the
Dallas Cowboys and the
San Francisco 49ers.
