It was a while ago, but Calvin ran 4.6 out of Tyrone GAI think that's a bad comparison because he doesn't appear to have elite top end speed. What he does have is a big frame (6'3" 200lbs as a high school junior) and elite body control. He also appears to have ridiculously strong hands already. This combination makes him a 50/50 ball nightmare for defenders. He also has a nasty demeanor for a WR. Can he become a 215-220 pound headache in the SEC? The tools are there. I'd be happy with a blend of Tillman/Jauan Jennings here when he peaks. Hope we'll be booming real soon.

He built that 4.36 speed while adding 20 lbs of muscle
Travis is a Manimal ( man + animal).
He gonna be tuff to stop.
You know I spent 20 minutes trying to find anything to support my 4.6 statement.As a high school senior, he went to a camp at Georgia Tech and ran a 40-yard dash. His high school coach, Chip Walker, said that he had timed him in 4.3 seconds. Georgia Tech, he said, had him at 4.1. He was already 6-4 and about 205 pounds.
