I forgot the RB they were using as an example, but he had a long TD run, and the last 30 yards he pulled away from corners who had better 40 times.
The RB ran a 4.6 and the corners ran 4.3 & 4.4 at the combine. The explained that runners like Ross stride and explode like sprinters, but some runners stride with power and their speed builds.
That's why the RB pulled away, because he had a 60+ yard TD run, and had time for his power to create speed.

Lol. No. Those people are just idiots. Someone can have 4.3speed and be toasted by 4.6 when the 4.6 can maintain his speed for longer past the 40. Like asking a Usain to race an Olympic long distance runner in a half marathon. [Reply]

They actually broke down Bolt's race technique in discussing how he strides and builds power because he doesn't start as fast as other sprinters. It's why he is more dominant in the 200 than he is in the 100.

Even though he's 31, is it that hard to believe that he has 3 more quality years left of play?
I don't think it's unrealistic. Hell, he's not even done with this season. He's been on a hot streak with Mahomes all month. That just might continue and get him another 5-6 TDs this year alone.
I think Kelce will get it.
It’s absolutely possible, but his career high is only 10. I could see him averaging 6-7 over the next 3 years and falling just short. You never know though.
I’d love to see Tyreek and Kelce stand at the top. It would be very fitting to help slam the door on the Chiefs failures of the past. [Reply]

You never know, he may have the longevity of witten and tony g and play at a high level for another six years [Reply]
Haha, just watched a clip from Greeny, and he challenged Ty to run a 100-yd race against Adam Schefter for charity. Schefty would get a 50 yard headstart.
