Message: [QUOTE="qdawgg, post: 3207618, member: 52"] Yes and no. When you’re talking guys with that elite speed, some may be just as explosive at 10-20 yards but don’t clock well at 100m. Some may be more explosive at 5-10 yards. Some guys stop and turn faster than guys that run a fast 100m. Some guys can control their speed far better, make a cut/slant and explode faster. Some guys run faster in pads and cleats and in the 4th Q. Judging speed between really fast guys using the 100m is somewhat archaic in football. Straight line movement over 100m or anything close to that distance in general is so rare except for special teams players, it’s such a poor indicator of ability unless the guy is running ridiculously slow 100m [/QUOTE]
