Fastest Player in the NFL. For the Combine junkies......

Post by Baywave1 »

Guess who is the fastest player in the NFL this season as measured by computers in a game? Finished 40th at the combine. It's still true that some folks play alot better than they practice. Great application of advanced stats.

Last year Ross set the all time combine record for the 40. I'll let y'all look up what he did this year with the Bengals (hint: you don't already know for a reason... he did nothing at all).

FWIW: It's Leonard Fournette and it's not even close. Again a reminder it's how you play that matters. Fournette weighs 240 lbs.
