The really funny thing about Holliday's 100 meters is that he's still ~.3 seconds off the world record pace. For as fast as he is, there are guys that are a heck of a lot faster than him.

To me, that's pretty frightening.

Very true. I guess the thought of trying to catch Holiday on a football field compared to running down a track (compared to other athletes) is what makes it kinda crazy..

This list is bullshit. Not one of these people has ever worked with Mike Barwis :wink:

I dunno. It's really just fluff. I don't know how anyone can take over 10,000 college football players who all work out and narrow down a list of the actual ten best.

Bingo.

But when the author submitted it with the title "Here is Some Stuff About Some Guys" it got thrown back at him.

There's his problem, he should have gone with "Here is Some Interesting Stuff About Some Guys"... they would never have rejected it then.

Around the SEC: Holliday the fastest ever? LSU says so on Nashville City Paper'





Around the SEC: Holliday the fastest ever? LSU says so

Around the SEC: Holliday the fastest ever? LSU says so

LSU is touting junior wide receiver Trindon Holliday as the fastest player in college football. SECSports.com
Some news, notes and observations from around the Southeastern Conference while sweating on my keyboard:

LSU this summer is touting junior wide receiver Trindon Holliday as the fastest player in college football.

Ever.

That?s right. Not even Bob Hayes, Herschel Walker or Willie Gault can match Holliday?s speed, according to Tigers football publicists.

On paper, they appear to be right. The 5-foot-6 Holliday, a reserve player last year for national-champion LSU, ran a 10.02 in the 100 meters at last year?s NCAA Track and Field Championships.

Only 69 people have ever run it faster and, according to LSU, none have ever played football or were playing at the time they were clocked.

Holliday, who scored two touchdowns last season, is hoping to make the U.S. Olympic team next month. If you saw LSU play last season, you know how dynamic he can be with the ball in his hands.

?He is a football player with track ability,? Tigers football coach Les Miles told CBSSports.com.

?Just like playing football for LSU is very, very important to him, this is too,? added LSU track coach Dennis Shaver.

He's physically impressive, but I just wasn't that impressed by him as a football player last year. He wasn't half the threat that Percy Harvin or Ted Ginn were in their most recent seasons.

Now, that's not to say that he doesn't have a very high ceiling; I'm just saying that, as a football player, he has a lot of room to improve.
