Armstrong vs. Ochocinco

I wish they still did the fastest man competitions. I'd love to see Jackson, Johnson, Banks, Ford and a few other guys just do a straight up 100m. I think it'd be between Jackson and Banks. Banks may have a little advantage in that he sprinted before and would maybe be a better starter. Jackson has shown he is faster than Johnson ina foot race. Ford is a question mark.

Desean Jackson is the fastest WR

Chris Johnson is the fastest RB

Banks is top 5 along with Ford from Oakland..

I bet DHall is among the fastest CBs.

Jamall Charles is a former Big Ten 100m champ. I'd bet he'd give Chris Johnson a run for his money.

Me, too. I loved those competitions. Former sprinters would have a significant advantage. Track skills take time to develop. The man with the most top end speed doesn't always get to the finish line first.

I just read in another post that Jamall Charles was a Big Ten 100m champion. I'd love to see him get involved, as well. If I recall correctly, wasn't Jacoby Ford an ACC sprint champion?

Anyway, there is some great speed in the NFL right now. Now would be a good time to revive the NFL's Fastest Man competition. It beats following the labor dispute.

Same could be said for getting a root canal, tearing both ACLs or having elective brain surgery.

Forgot about Charles...

I give a nod to the guys who were sprinters in the past. There's NFL fast and sprinter fast. Sprinter fast is faster. And watching Johnson and Jackson run on Shaw vs. sorta showed me that Johnson isn't blazing fast in a foot race. Jackson easily outpaced him.

Id like to see Ocho and TO race right off a cliff.

Back in 86 & 87 I believe it was, Darrell Green smoked em all - including Willie Gault & Ron Brown who were both on the 84 gold medal 4x100 team.

Is Banks really that fast? I know he's quick but that doesn't always translate to straight speed.

Read the article, I think Chad knows he is slower, that is why he wants AA and Banks to do a baton pass. The race will be him vs them.

He is just talking smack, he should go back at look at their 40 numbers. For Chad's sake, hopefully he just finds some sort of excuse. Otherwise it will be embarrassing.

Straight speed is not the issue in football. It's can the receiver get off the line for one and how fast can they get in and out of their breaks.

AA and Banks might be faster at the 100 yrd dash but Ocho might be faster on the field simply due to his ability to get in and out of his cuts faster.

In any event it's nice they are having friendly banter but I'd rather see the production on the field. Wage a stat war or something. Who gets the most yrds and catch's or yrds per catch. I'm sure there are a ton of people who don't play football who could match up well on the 100 yrd dash.
