Fastest running back youve seen from your school?

Tomcat68 Wrote:Hey BigSlick,

Just wondering why you don't believe the times put up by Josh Gross? Is there any reason? Yes Jones and Howard were both great running backs, and both may very well have been better than Gross, but just because they were better doesn't mean they were faster, even if they were very fast. Also, I fully doubt you have ever seen Josh run a 40 yard dash, film doesn't count. That is wearing football gear and on grass. Some players are effected more and some less when comparing their times ran on grass, in pads, with cleats, partially exhausted from the game in comparison to no pads, with track shoes, on a track, with 100% energy.

Gross wasn't even the fastest guy on his team, and Jones could smoke smoke him. Howard left him in the dust twice, watch your film, and Howard was a low 4.5 guy on a good day. Gross would be fortunate to run a 4.6 40, which is fast, but to sit here and tell people he ran 4.3 is flat out ridiculous.

I know this is all on the football field, but if he wasn't even in the top 3 (fastest guys on the field) then there is no way he could run a 4.3 40. Belfry had 3 guys who could outrun him and none of those guys ran a 4.3 40 (Jones, Howard, and Maynard).
