    Technically yes, he ran a 10.38 to Bo's 10.39...but there are a lot of factors being ignored here. How often are players running 100m's on an NFL field? Secondly, reaction time is a factor since sprinters are reacting to the gun and this can cost you quite a bit of time while we are trying to discuss actual speed.

    Also, a similar time in 100m meters implies they have equal speed across all distances )ignoring the reaction time for a min)...and that is not the case. This is why a guy like Sproles - who has an elite 10 yard dash at 1.56 only ends up with an avg 40 time.

    Bo reportedly ran a 4.12 40 at his combine so, like my Sproles example, may max out before Adoree does while Adoree doesn't have his acceleration. Or maybe Bo had a slow start and Adoree had a fast one?

    But by NFL terms, Bo is much faster because he is in almost all NFL plays (given the avg distance in an NFL play and Bo's vastly superior 40 time) even though they may have just about the same 100m time.

    On a side note, Deion Sanders ran a 10.21 100m and Darrel Green ran a 10.08 and their 40 times were in the 4.2's or better. Also keep in mind that Bo (Sanders and Green) ran his time 30+years ago which means his relative speed to the rest of the league was also a lot greater while Adoree is in the above avg range.

    He has deceptive speed, and his agility and vision are off the charts. That sudden move he did to make the guy miss, and then to burn past everyone and kicker and another looked like they might have an angle, but he easily ran past them. He sure didnt look super fast saturday but he sure did have some wheels. I forsee him getting a few TDs on special teams this season, and also could see him getting peppered in on offense, because he looks natural moving with the ball in his hands.

    Between this silly argument and the Dodd thread, we desperately need football back so we can all stop talking silliness

    Bo's 40 time is pure garbage. His 50M time was 5.49 seconds, which when scaled down to 40 meters, is 4.36 seconds. His 100M time scaled down to 40 meters is 4.12 seconds. So as the length of the runway increased, so did the average speed per meter in which he traveled. He probably would have run around what Adoree did in the 40, had he been timed by today's standards.

    Which is fast. But not 4.1 fast. He was caught from behind, which never would have happened with that kind of speed. Sanders probably could actually run in the 4.2s though.

    lol thats not how this works

    after the 3rd preseason game we're gonna have a couple chicken little's running around saying this that and God only knows what else about how the season will go. All based on a preseason outing..

    We had people losing their minds over the Jets game 2 weeks ago..

    wait til week-1 when it really maters and we goof something up... People like to jump to conclusions... The silliness will never end..
