Justin Gatlin beats Usain Bolt in Rome

[Roustabout]

Never played football at UT.

lol:

One of his track mates played football. Gatlin never put on a football uniform at Tennessee. He ran track! I wish he would have played football......

You must be confused with someone else. Gatlin surely didn't play football.

Think some on here are thinking of Sam Graddy.

Just for trivia's sake with football players and speed to the best of my knowledge the fastest official 100m time ever run by anyone that ever played college or pro football is still the 9.91 run by our own Leonard Scott. (This was after his football career ended)

Why is this in the football forum? And I don't celebrate the accomplishments of known cheaters, even if they went to UT.

 

[LEATHERHEAD VOL]

Not even close to his personal best, IIRC

If your right, that's even more impressive. When he can run 100m under the 10sec mark and it not even be on his best day is insane. Good for him. :salute: GBO

Willie Gault at age 50 running a 10,8 or 11.00 100.

I could be wrong, but I recall him joining the team for Fall practice but did not stay with the team before the season started. Or maybe I dreamed this.

I think you guys are confusing him with his track teammate Leonard Scott #26, who played WR for Tennessee in 99-00 I think. LS made quite a few plays receiving and returning. Specifically remember the long TD against ND in 99'. Although a contemporary on the track team JG never played on the FB team IIRC.
Gatlin was already world-class (truly) at UT and Scott was only a bit slower. If "slow" is even proper when discussing either
BTW, I think LS won an Olympic medal (gold?) on relay team.

Gatlin and Scott were both on our last NC track team and part of the 4x100. Gatlin ran the 60, 100, 200 and relay. I believe he won both the NCAA 100 and 200 that year and Scott won the 60 indoors.

Yea sorry folks, I must have been confused with Scott

Pretty sure he never played football at TN.

So, you're saying he has 4 years of eligibility left?

 

[FEARinSEC]

It was doctor prescribed meds for his ADD, but most people don't care to research that. I guess it sounds better to assume it was PED.

...and now you know the rest of the story. Worth a like, for sure.

 

[SmokeyVol]

Can he catch a punt?
