He seems to accelerate pretty quick too for a tall guy. Usually if they have any speed it's after they get going full speed with the long loping strides. Expand The do 10- and 20-yard splits. Not sure where to find them. And would be interesting to see if he's slowing down on the back 20. Edited September 25, 2018 by Doc

A 4.75 40-yard translates to 17.2 MPH. Expand No one is chasing you at the combine. I'm sure they are going 100% to get the best time possible but the adrenaline kicks in when you are in a game. Growing up I was fast playing baseball but always felt like I ran my fastest after hitting the ball. You get that killer instinct that makes you hit another gear. Was the same way when I was on my swim team. Was never a fast swimmer but you see the goal and you teammates standing there cheering and you somehow shave 3 seconds off your best time.

And some guys are faster in shorts but slower in pads and in game situations than their allegedly slower counterparts. Similar to what you said, I was always kind of amazed at guys like Jerry Rice and Andre Reed who looked to be running as fast as they could but when they saw the ball in the air which was going to be a little long they suddenly found more speed and got faster. It's kind of the adrenaline, lift up a car in an emergency kind of thing. 1
Utah John Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 There's no reason to think Allen won't work out as a QB, but he could be a killer TE.
Juice_32 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 That speed in 10 yards is damn impressive.
Doc Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 I thought about it and I recalled that I said when I was watching Allen at the Combine running the 40 that he looked so nonchalant about it. I remembered right. He doesn't appear to be going all-out. 2 1

Lurker Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Flying the last 3-4 yards probably helped improve his speed.... :~) 1 1 1

snamsnoops Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 You would think his first BIG play would have been a big throw or something in the air...Nope, he wanted to be superman!
Reks Ryan Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Damn, Albert Wilson is fast. Only Tyreek Hill was clocked faster this year. And yeah, Allen was impressive yesterday.
White Linen Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 The Deion Sanders segment on the NFL Network where he facetime's a player, featured Allen. He just seems so confident and comfortable in himself. 1

Bing Bong Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 He also flew from the 5 yard line to the pylon. HE FLEW. 1
Batman1876 Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Cam newton made it on the list in week 2, also for a TD run. Josh was .53 MPH faster. Edited September 25, 2018 by Batman1876

But who knows with him- maybe he had a bad day at the combine, maybe he got faster in the offseason for some freakish reaon etc etc...
