For context Derrick Henry hit a top speed of 21.6 mph on Sunday when he housed a 90 yard run against an nfl defense...
Gotten faster? He has been fast... Here is how you know if a running back is fast, you look at their film and see if they ever get run down from behind. I don't mean caught by someone talking a great angle but ran down from behind. I was honestly confused by people on here saying he was not fast enough. I never seen him get caught from behind in 7A Georgia football. That kid from Maryville got caught from behind every time he had the football. That is how I know he will never play.Whatever his top speed truly is, he seems to be able to maintain it pretty well.
And I'll admit...he's gotten faster
Maryville-is that Whitehead ? I can’t remember.Gotten faster? He has been fast... Here is how you know if a running back is fast, you look at their film and see if they ever get run down from behind.

Tee Hodge. You are right the bigger guys look slow just like Derrick Henry does not look fast but he outruns NFL defenses on the regular. Do what I do and just look at long runs and see if they are getting run down from behind in high school. If they are getting run down in high school then you can dismiss them early and easily. Just be careful about angles, getting caught by a player taking a great angle is not the same as getting run down from behind.Maryville-is that Whitehead ? I can’t remember.
I thought Brown looked slow on video but realize his running style and thickness can give the appearance he is slower than he actually is. Plus he has slowed down near the end zone on some plays when the defenders are still going all out to catch him.
