Imagine the damage he could do in Football at TE or DE.

Sure, and I ran a 3.8 40-yard dash this morning.

Please define "pretty effective". Leonard Scott was a complete waste of a uniform.

I'm not sure I'd call a guy that led the SEC in KOR in '99 (11th nationally) and finished his career 2nd only to Gault in that category a "complete waste of a uniform".

As a WR he was mediocre at best.

if anything, he would be slower than average at the 40 mark because he's so tall. He's the classic case of top end speed outweighing his start.

Assume that his first 40 was 3.5. His 2nd 40 would be MUCH faster because the start wouldn't be factored into it. That means he'd be roughly 6.8-7.0 through 80 (averaging better than 10m/second).

It wouldn't make sense that his last 20 would be greater than 10 yards/sec.

Leonard Scott could outrun his own shadow but couldn't catch a cold much less a football.

Negedu has also been playing in a Baltimore/D.C. summer league (Kevin Durant and Michael Beasley also play in it) and now has become known as “The Secret Weapon”.

The Secret Weapon. I love it.

"Special Purpose" would be better.

I think "9th Man" has a nice ring to it.

Not bad for a 9th man. Could be Childress.

Haven't we had good luck recently with a recruit that UK didn't want? Just saying...

Bolt would not run a 3.5 Thats humanly impossible.

He ran the last 40 yards sub 3.5, but that was when he was at top speed.

Ok, well that makes it completely unlegit.

well, I am just saying. But you are correct, he could not run a 3.5 40yd dash.
