I can’t get the video to work so will try later, but as a former state champ wrestler 100 years ago, and football, yadayada, and national champ power lifter, we used to interval training and would hit 12 mph for an interval which would be a 5 min mile if memory serves.  That means for however long he ran 23 mph he was running at a sub 3 minute mile which is almost inhuman.  Only a couple people in the world can run distance at that pace, so if he even did it for 30 seconds is amazing.  
 

I have one comment left.  Hey, Gilmore, still think Diggs is nothing.  You’re getting schooled this year.  Go Diggs, and Billieve!

Whoops, now it finally came through.  Amazing even if just for five seconds.  God I can’t wait for Gilmore to eat his words and hopefully he does it to him twice a year for the next three years.  Yeah baby!

So should we start calling Diggs the Road Runner, or CB killer?

Nobody in the world can run at 23 mph for 30 seconds. 23 mph was likely his peak and he probably just touched it. For refrence, 23 mph would be a 9.73 second 100 meter dash, an Olympic caliber time.

That would be my guess.  The treadmill recorded his peak speed achieved during his treadmill run.

[GETTOTHE50]

Could he beat Jerry Seinfeld in a race though? Idk

...slower than Rich Eisen...........

[Don Otreply]

Looked like he had the treadmill set at 23 mph, jumped on and ran at that speed for a bit, frankly that’s impressive.

Yeah, that’s what he did.  

[keepthefaith]

Impressive if the speed of the treadmill is accurate.  A great division 1  4 x 100 meter relay time is :39 flat or a 9.75 second split per runner.  That is a 22.94MPH average pace by the team.  Now the exchanges happen at a bit less than top speed and the first runner has to start from a stop, but essentially Diggs on that treadmill is running at a top D1 sprinter pace, and the top track sprinters are generally faster than football players.  Running on a track though is more effort than running on a treadmill. 

 

Diggs might have 24MPH in him if he tried ramping up speed rather than jumping on a 23MPH belt.

He wasn't doing it from a standing start.   It's very doable for short stretchs from a moving start...

[PIZ]

If I would try this I would end up through the wall at the other end. Wow!

[Success]

I'd suggest nicknaming him "cheetah," but the Pats already have a lock on that...

 

[Rocky Landing]

For those into distance running, 23mph is a 2:36 mile.

A four minute mile is 15mph.

You just know that some idiots that have no business trying this...are going to try it.
