I understand what you are saying -- I am just saying that there are LOTS of pro football players that were given the nod JUST b/c they were fast. There are lots of walk-ons that excelled at college and even turned pro.

He is 6'5 and 190 - w/ his acceleration and a combination of playing off the line he's not just gonna "lay down and get jammed up" -- 2, if he is - he's 3 steps away from pulling away from a LOT of talented backs. Sure - he'll get popped... if you play him deep it sets up the run. Even w/out the ball you have to defend him... not as easy as you think.

It's all speculation from both of our views... like you, I'd like some burgers and beer and watch him work in a "fun" scrimmage to see what he's got.
Yes, they're both in pads. An obstacle that football players are used to, and sprinters aren't.

Again, you're right. Lot's of track athletes are recruited by college's, majority don't end up suiting up on Saturday's but there are exemptions. If we were talking about Usain playing college football, I would say he could turn into a star(I'd be tuning into his games). NFL is a different story though, any pro sport for that matter.

I'm just ready for REAL football to start, in the meantime all we can do is speculate
