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.
