[QUOTE="stylee, post: 48927, member: 882"] Some guys are both fast and can play. The real difference between "track speed" and "football speed" isn't really speed at all - it's deceleration. If Justin Gatlin is in football pads and on grass and running in a straight line, he will outrun Laskey or Snoddy or Chris Johnson every time. However, I doubt he'd be able to cut in the same way, because he's simply not used to slamming on the brakes and quickly changing directions. Some guys with both football and elite track ability: Bob Hayes, Jeff Demps, Trindon Holliday. All are/were better at track but still had pretty good football ability [/QUOTE]
