Not taking anything away from T-Mart, but I am a little skeptical. Crouch was pretty fast. Even compared to cornerbacks and WRs.

I heard them say something like that on the broadcast on saturday. I am very skeptical that T-mart was/is as fas as Crouch. Dont get me wrong T-mart is very, very fast, but I dont think he is Crouch fast.

I hear ya. Tmart has greased lightning gap speed but Crouch.....oh boy, he was a blur. I think maybe not "quite" as quick as Crouch for the initial 10 yds. EASILY the 2nd quickest Husker on the field I've seen though. End-Zone Jones at #3.

But then Tmart is just a freshman and it's almost scary to think he could possibly pick up a half step in the next 3+ years.

Crouch's top end speed is a little higher than Martinez's. The difference is that Martinez's acceleration is FAR better than Crouch's so Martinez is just overall more explosive.

Totally disagree.

Crouch's gap speed was insane.

Whoa whoa whoa, Miss Lippy, Crouch was like a sub 4.4 wasn't he? I'd say Martinez is more like 4.45-4.48

nope. He has been said to have mid 4.3 speed.

The announcers said last week that he had been clocked at a 4.33 or something ridiculous like that. I know they said 4.35 or below though.

 
Crouch ran a 4.47 in the NFL combine if I remember correctly, and Martinez' Rivals 40 is listed as a 4.47. Weird.

I think Crouch has faster top end speed and Martinez has faster acceleration, and they're about identical over a long distance. Just my opinion.

I heard the same thing that he has 4.3 speed. I just don't know if it's 4.31 0r 4.39 either way he is very fast and if he is in the same conversation as Crouch as a RS Freshman I think that we are in for some fun the next few years.

 
I was watching College Football Live this afternoon while the treadmill and Robert Smith stated he believe Martinez is slightly faster than Dennard :blink:
