husker3434 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Speed kills ! But Quicks is better! I'll take Barry Sanders Quicks over speed anytime Quote Link to comment
Huskerballz Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm more concerned about what Helu's vertical is. If it's high enough, he can just continue to hurdle over potential tacklers. Even when they're standing upright. Quote Link to comment

If you hear anymore official (or semi-official, since there is no real world record), add them to the list: Ted Ginn Jr. (4.06) Alexander Wright (4.09) Michael Bennett (4.13) Bo Jackson (4.14) DeAngelo Hall (4.15) Darrell Green (4.15) Lavernaues Coles (4.16) Deion Sanders (4.17) - and MLB Maurice Greene (4.21) - track Joey Galloway (4.18) Ahman Green (4.19) Laveranues Coles (4.2) Don Beebe (4.21) Donte Stallworth (4.22) Ryan Dotson (4.24) Michael Vick (4.25) Randy Moss (4.25) Willie Parker (4.23) BGW (4.23) Devin Hester (4.24) Champ Bailey (4.28) Willis McGahee (4.28) Stanford Routt (4.29) Fabian Washington(4.29) Michael Jordan (4.3) - NBA Reggie Bush (4.33) Darren McFadden (4.33) Lebron James (4.4) - NBA Flash (4.43) - Super Hero http://www.listafterlist.com BS Flash runs 4.43 I didn't know Jordan ran a 4.3 though A friend of mine that played for UTEP recorded a 4.19 his senior year. I don't think it was for the combine though. He now plays for the Raiders... Johnnie Lee Higgins Jr. Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 pssh. I run that every day when I get up. It get's teh blood pumpin. Quote Link to comment
RedNLeader Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Man I would love to belive that Helu ran a 4.25 during summer workouts, cause then it would show me how hard they worked out during the summer. So I guess we all will find out soon enough. Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'd sooner believe that was his gpa than his 40 time GPA. That's pretty funny!! I am a bit skeptical too. No matter what his time, Helu is deceptively fast. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Remember when Helu got ran down by that Iowa State player last year? you mean the one who had an angle on him...... Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Remember when Helu got ran down by that Iowa State player last year? you mean the one who had an angle on him...... Fast is outrunning someone even when they do have an angle. A few runs from Bo Jackson come to mind, heck even Ahman had a few of those on the highlight reels. Helu is awesome, finds the hole and gets through it quickly, but has not shown elite top end speed. Doesn't mean he isn't one of my favorite Huskers. For example, I would be willing to bet that Prince Amukamara is faster than Helu, doesn't mean he would be a better rb(eventhough had he been given the chance, he might have been).

BigRedfxtoy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I'm not sure where to find the stats, but I was watching something and the anouncer said Dan Alexander ran the fastes 40 of all Husker backs? I'd love to verify that if possible. There was a question posed durring the game/program or whatever: What running back recorded the fastest 40 yrd dash for Nebraska? I was shocked to hear them say... "I doubt many got this one right, even the hard core husker fans, It was Dan Alexander" or something very close to that. Can anyone find these stats?
