This guy is from another planet, he shattered his 9.69 record with a 9.58 second time in Berlin today. It's actually the first time I've seen him run seriously without goofing off. The scary thing is that he can still break that time, can you imagine if he could catch balls?

:doh: there is already a video of him trying to run with pads, and he sucks. Plus I think we have made a thread about this. Research before posting is my mantra.

This is about a shattering WORLD RECORD not his WR skills and by the way I started the other thread. Sorry if the WR in the title mislead you.

It would be "insane" to think that "Usain" could play WR in the NFL. YeaH!

Another Bullet Bob Hayes? Unfortunately he can't catch but this dude is scary fast. He's pretty amazing.

they've tried sprinters, soccer players, etc as other positions on the field
it doesn't work like that

When athletes get to the pro level at any sport, they usually need to commit full-time only to one sport because that's what it usually takes to be competitive in that sport. There are exceptions, but you wonder how good some of these athletes could be if they stuck to just one.
I guess only Bo would know. ;)

As a Jamaican, he was never exposed to the NFL so it would take a while for him to learn all the rules, and understand the intricacies of the game.
His race today was amazing. He looked like he let up again in the last 10 meters. I think once he gets back to the shape he was in during the Olympics, the WR set today will be shattered
