Allyson Felix is top 3 100 m runner and the top 200 meter runner but she isnot even close to Sanya Richardson in the 4...
short sprints is a completely different animal than 400 |

| Patterson's top track times: Cordarelle Patterson - SCRUNNERS.COM
Note that he didn't run the 400 his senior year. Still, his top 100 time of 10.73 is impressive; he could easily be in the 10.5 range next year and that's faster than most SEC DBs & receivers.
Keep in mind that Patterson didn't play HS sports until his junior year, and in his two-year HS career he had 119 catches for 2,033 yards and 35 TDs. His showing last year at Hutchinson showed that he's for real; he was one of only five freshmen to be named to the All-American team. | |

| As I suspected he either did not run the 400 or that time was wrong. He looks fast on film. But for all you track experts one question. Do you really believe if Mr Bolt from Jamaica trained and ran the 400 that he would not run a good time? Do you really believe if Michael Johnson ran the 100 he would not run a good time. The reason is because fast is fast. Some events are more suited for others that is why the same guy does not win all those events. Looking at this guys long stride I bet the board that time is wrong and he would run 54 in warmups. | |

| I think his slow 400m time means that when it's 3rd and 400meters we shouldn't throw to him. Time to move on. Good catch, volterp. | |

| Can't run the 400... Best to let this one go. If the ball changes possession 6 times in a single play, we can't have that liability IMHO

| Wow. Sorry I posted his track numbers. Clearly, I am an idiot.

His legs and lungs could be conditioned for short term burst run. His 40 might blow anyone else's out of the water and his 100 might be average. It's very possible. | |
