Who was faster in college?

 :razorback: :razorback: :razorback: :razorback:

[fanofthehog]

Biggers was like 10-12 times faster than all of them.

[icouldntthinkofagoodname]

darren was bigger.  bigger was faster.  adams saw smaller.  felix was quicker.

[Inhogswetrust]

I knew a girl in college that liked fast....................................

[urkillnmesmalls]

Biggers should win this in a landslide.  What he lacked for in actual speed, he made up for in getting up and down off the bench to get in his 10-12 minutes.  Bench to bench....fastest on the list by far. 

[EastexHawg]

Matt Jones smoked both Felix and Joe at the combine.

[pillowhog]

Left out the long white boy Matt Jones

[LZH]

Speaking of caucasians, anyone remember Tim Crowder?  And what about the Rees (Reese?) kid?

Yea they were white boy fast.  Matt Jones was everyboy fast

[CallMeAl]

Tri Delts were pretty fast when I was in school.

[LZH]

True, but wasn't Crowder the fastest kid to play at Arkansas up to that point?  I thought he was a sub-4.25 or something like that.  Anyway, I remember seeing the film where he was looking up for the ball and ran right into a scissor lift or something similar that was on the field.

[Peter Porker]

Biggers was 10-12 steps faster than the others.

[LZH]

Biggers was 10-12 steps faster than the others.

Yeah, but he could take 10 steps to everyone else's 12.

[hoggusamoungus]

Left out the long white boy Matt Jones

And Fred Talley.

[acey33]

Who is faster? the white, black, yellow, green or pillow boy...

[SDZ_Hog]

How fast was JJ Meadors?

[PonderinHog]

Tanner English farts in your general direction.

Sub 4.25 lol ok you do know nobody has ever ran that fast at the combine

[outlawhogeywells]

still are from what I hear

[Break & Run]

That #Arkanstrong thing you have up is almost as lame as the whole #Boston Strong bs

Go frick yourself!  I put this up because of the 4 friends I have that lost everything in Vilonia's latest bout with a tornado.  The amount of help they got the day after the tornado was amazing to see.  If you aren't proud to be from Arkansas, especially with the way people responded to the help Vilonia needed, then you can go sit on a concrete barrier and rotate!

[hs6]

Sub 4.25 lol ok you do know nobody has ever ran that fast at the combine

Rondel Melendez - 4.24
Chris Johnson - 4.24
Tavon Austin 4.25

Bo Jackson - disputed 4.12, followed by a 4.18

[oxbaker]

Nick Marshall is the fastest player to ever grace the arkansas football field.

[Pistol Pete]

Ahmad Carroll was the fastest I knew of in college. And Grant.
At Arkansas...

[Been10Hog]

Are you sure you know that? Bo knows!

[urkillnmesmalls]

Nick Marshall Swain is the fastest player to ever grace actually get swallowed up by the arkansas football field.

I just thought I'd tweak that a bit for you.  It was a nice effort at trolling, but not even worthy of refuting it.  We've had no less than a dozen players that would make Marshall look like he had lead in his shoes. 

[ldfergu]

I recall hearing during a post practice interview that Michael Smith was faster than Felix and DMac. Seems like DMac said it.. Anyone else remember that?

[DriveByHogger]

Talley scores again!

[Ethan2010]

Tanner English farts in your general direction.

I see what you did there, on both accounts.  +1

[LZH]

Sub 4.25 lol ok you do know nobody has ever ran that fast at the combine

I don't know anything about the combine.  I was just referring to (apparently) his hand-held time of 4.22 or whatever it was that made the rumor mill around campus when he was there.

[DLUXHOG]

Tri Delts were pretty fast when I was in school.

They were known as the "Triple Nipples" when I was on the hill.........

[acey33]

Biggers was like 10-12 times faster than all of them.

He ran the 100m in 10-12 sec.

Evidently pillowhog doesn't know anything about the combine either, because he was just talking out his rear end.

[pillowhog]

Hand held 4.22 translates to 4.35 to 4.4 range

[pillowhog]

LMAO how does Joe Adams and Felix Jones get all these votes people? 

[hvsupastar]

McFadden was and is still the fastest. He's too fast for his o-line in Oakland. He's in the hole before they can block the defender

[pillowhog]

Do they block?

[hogcard1964]

Gary Anderson was the fastest player I've ever seen.

[Hogimus Prime]

Biggers can run 10-12 meters in the time it takes Chuck Norris to roundhouse kick someone in the face.

[EastexHawg]

I never particularly liked him, but Deion Sanders is the fastest man I have ever seen in pads and on a football field.  He could outrun everyone else when he was high stepping.

Sanders ran an official 10.26 100 meter dash when he dabbled in track and field at Florida State.  Bo Jackson's fastest non-wind aided time was 10.44.  He ran a wind aided 10.39.

I completely agree.  In pads...on a football field...he was the fastest player I've ever seen.  He could run faster backward than a lot of people can run going forward.

No it doesn't! Handheld translates to possibility of human error. This can be on either side of a laser timed 40.

[Pistol Pete]

What does 40 times have to do with fast?
I realize there is a rough translation, but they're not the same.
Usain Bolt is typically behind in 40 meters but blows everyone away the last 60.
Everyone in the list is average compared to the NFL.
Carroll and Grant were truly fast, even in the NFL.
But I don't think Grant could realize his potential... Think he tore his acl

[Est. 1981]

Chris Houston was damn fast!!

[LZH]

What does 40 times have to do with fast?

Skills, balance, and strength aside, if you can break 4.5, you've got decent enough speed to play football somewhere.


I still remember about 10-12 years ago when Alabama's RB broke right up the middle untouched and was all alone on the TV screen on his way for an 80 yd TD.  All of a sudden, Batman Carroll shot into the frame like a flash and caught the guy just as he crossed the goal line.  About five seconds later my phone rang and it was a buddy of mine...."I know DB's are usually pretty fast, but who the hell was THAT?"

Too bad he fouled his career up, but man that cat could fly.

That was the one where it was their opening play from scrimmage right?  Man...that was more effective than a muzzle on the crowd.

Yeah, I believe you're right.  I think it was kinda rainy that night, too.  If that was the 30-12 game, we were never really competitive that nite.

[EastexHawg]

Shaud Williams, 80 yards straight up the gut through an area vacated by Ken Hamlin.  First play of the game.

I remember that play very well. He came from the other side of the field, was probably 10 yards behind, plus, however far the angle added to it.
The bama running back was Alexander I think.
Carroll could probably outrun McFadden by 10 yards in the 100...
He's that fast.

[Pistol Pete]

I guess it was Williams.
