Toledo Bill Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 I just saw a blurb in SI rating the fastest NFL player. I don't know if it was fan, player or GM based. Randy Moss was considered the fastest, which surprised me. There are a lot of stat experts that contribute here. Who are the fastest few NFL players, to your knowledge... and where does Lee Evans stand? Thanks

cashfruit Posted December 11, 2004 Posted December 11, 2004 no particular order: randy moss joey galloway bethel johnson michael vick michael bennet (if he still counts) deangelo hall shawn springs lee evans doug gabriel dante stallworth laverneus coles ...terrence mcgee is real fast too, those guys up there are all in the 4.30 range

Wow. That suprises me. I had a couple guys on my HIGH-SCHOOL team that were running 4.15's and so on.

TigerJ Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I think Joey Galloway has lost a step. Lee Evans is in the low 4.3s somewhere around 4.33. He might not be the fastest Bill, nor might McGee. If I was to bet, my money would be on Jabari Greer. Shawn Springs wouldn't be on my list. A couple who would be are Santana Moss, and Chad Morton.
Hardy Pyle Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 just throwing a name out there...but Santana Moss is a speedster as well. And you can't forget Shawn Bryson :0

I had a couple guys on my HIGH-SCHOOL team that were running 4.15's and so on. 156257[/snapback] I currently run a sub 4.5 time. but a 4.15 is beyond amazing, that is world class there. randy moss ran 4.18 at Fla St. and is still in that range. but according to testing last year, the two fastest players in the league were dante hall and antonio brown (yes the chump we cut) and they both ran 4.18-.19.

I didnt time them.
Terry Tate Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 I currently run a sub 4.5 time.156330[/snapback] Chasing that girl in your avatar at the time? It takes me 4.5 to get out of my lazyboy recliner. Anyone time our 300+ lb DE's returning picks for TD's?

justnzane Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 lol. kinda funny i drove by there today while i was out in rachacha for a track meet. (too bad, i injured my knee last nite and I have to see if i need surgery)

And you can't forget Shawn Bryson :0 156277[/snapback] I beat you to Santana Moss. Therefore, I must be faster than you. Oh, and while Bryson is fast for a guy the size of a fullback (even though he probably plays more RB now, he's not in the league's elite. He runs the 40 in the neighborhood of 4.37.
KurtGodel77 Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 The only 40 times that really count in my book are the ones that are electronically timed. You have a beam or something, and the timer starts when the runner crosses the beam. It stops when the runner crosses the beam at the finish line. Human timers aren't accurate enough, and there is some reason to believe that stopwatch guys give guys the benefit of the doubt.

Britbillsfan Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 40 times should be taken with a pinch of salt as their is far too much an element of human error involved on the part of the timers. This has been talked over before in other, older threads, but the times quoted as truly fast players' 40 times in the NFL would mean they all would leave the top world sprinters eating dust by a notable margin (indeed the NFL would probably ensure that not one sprinter would make it into the semi-finals let alone the finals of an Olympic / World event if the players decided to be sprinters rather than NFL players (60m or 100m)). That said the times are okay as a kind of comparative measure, incredibly fast is incredibly fast, but the electronic timing method is the only accurate one (and it is what is used at major athletics events).
WILLIS Posted December 12, 2004 Posted December 12, 2004 donte stallworth of the saints and ahmed carrol from the pack and the fastest bill is jabari greer
