I know Coker was a RB, but what was his time? Dude was so fast, we haven't had anyone like him since. One of my dads favorite backs behind Little Man, Charlie Garner, Travis Stephens and Jamal.

Rumored to have 4.2 speed as well. I think he ran like a 4.3 for NFL scouts

Yeah linking to his recruiting profile that lists him as a two star doesn't help your point.

But I'm sure you're right and there's no possible way a fast kid could fly under the radar.

Actually, it makes my point

There's fast and there's elite speed I assume you know the difference? So why keep confusing the two?

To be accurate we must convert that to a HT (hand timed) value.. Using the formula 4.27 = ((DF (damn fast) + 1.24) x 2/ 2) g 1.24.. Take that and and subtract .24 and you come up with HT = 4.03 or SF (smokin fast)...

Kids with elite speed fly under the radar all the time. Coaches usually start identifying prospects in their freshman or sophomore year in high school. If a kid doesn't camp or put up big numbers early then they can be overlooked. If you're not a starter until your senior year, or you play small classification ball, or if your team sucks you can be overlooked. Potential superstars still slip through the cracks every year for one reason or another. Think about Marshall Faulk only being offered to play running back by San Diego St.

Any HS player with elite speed chances are you never leave the field

Camp or not in today's world social media alone allows word to spread fast and far for a kid with elite speed especially in FL the nation’s top recruiting market. Lake City is a stone’s throw from both Gainesville and Tallahassee are you truly saying (football & track) coaches are unaware of a kid with elite speed in their own backyard?

Laremy Tunsil (#1 OT in '13 Class and future NFL 1st rd'er) is from the same HS (Columbia, Lake City) as Williams.

Speaking of Marshall Faulk, this is a good read

"By the fall of the 1990, college coaches nationwide were in hot pursuit of Marshall. Powerhouses Nebraska, Miami, Texas A&M, and LSU all recruited him, but only as a defensive back. The only recruiter who talked to Marshall about playing halfback was Curtis Johnson of San Diego State. Marshall was determined to run the ball in college and committed to the Aztecs."

Nahh, I was just foolin about.. I really don't care about 40 times. As far as his athletic ability goes I want to know if the guy has a 'head' for the game? Can he make big plays? Will the staff scheme to put him in position to make said big play?

How exactly does linking to Chris Johnson's (pretty much the gold standard for elite speed) 2* profile prove that guys with elite speed never fly under the radar?

Can't say I remember anything about his grades. But if he can get in EC, most SEC schools could get him in as long as he can write his name IF they really want to.

Johnson can barely say his own name much less spell it.

If not for his football talent, he may have had a hard time even getting into a Junior College on just his brains alone. Guy is not smart...not even a little.

So you're saying he could have only got into Bama, UF, Ole Miss, or Miss St? Got it.

You confuse fast with elite, never for virtually impossible. Either a failed attempt to (yet again) change the narrative or failed reading comprehension, which is it?

Why you persist to mistakenly assume CJ (elite speed and all) flew under the radar is beyond me. FBS and FCS programs alike knew but chose not to pursue. If not for ECU he would have been JUCO bound

Enough :horse:

Bless your little heart. Where have I "confused fast for elite"? All I've said is that it's possible for a kid with elite speed to fly under the radar and that Chris Johnson had elite speed. I haven't been inconsistent in that. I'm not the one who needs help with reading comprehension here.

As for CJ and "flying under the radar" I'm talking about recruiting rankings. He wasn't a highly rated prospect. You can keep on claiming that schools knew all about him and just chose to pass, but there's no evidence for it. Recruiting services don't bump down kids for grades. If they did, kids like Dante Sawyer and Bo Scarborough would'nt have been highly ranked either.

Fail.

You refuse to accept "academics and baggage" yet you have presented absolutely zero argument or evidence to the contrary

His 2 star ranking certainly was not due to a lack of athleticism, speed, or accomplishment on the gridiron or track. Provide another 2 star player (ever) to to be named to FL Super Prep 100? Or finish second in FL State Track Competition to an eventual Olympic Medalist

You continuing in your poor attempt to argue and/or change the narrative is futile

He ended up otherworldly. Should have won the Heisman at San Diego State. The same would've happened at Tennessee of course , but it might've been for a NC team.

Well semantically, you've almost got a point. But you're inferring your own meaning into my words there. I know sarcasm can be hard to pick up over the Internet, so I can go back and edit those posts jnto blue font for you if you want. It might be easier to understand for you that way.
