Yup, which makes it even more impressive. And it might have been 2nd or 1st because the others were shorter due to penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 He looked exceptionally fast. The hurdle run he was pretty fast, too. For a 6'5" 245 or whatever he is dude, he's not only agile, but pretty quick and pretty fast. "A good athlete for his size" doesn't come close to describing him. There really is a ton to like about him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just he is extremely quick , and because he's 6'6 , he's able to reach his top speed extremely quick , so he might max his speed out in 10-15 yards.. On top of that, he runs so physical and is extremely agile for a guy that size. What he did to Barr , considered an elite lb , considered a very fast and athletic lb was amazing. The dive, hurdle and stiff arm displayed his speed , quickness,agility , and just awesome physical running style. Barr had to be shocked that this giant QB can run like that . ???? 4 minutes ago, The Virginian said: He's also the only quarterback on the list. How did he not go # 1? To run AND throw like that is a cheat code. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually if they have any speed it's after they get going full speed with the long loping strides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
