Preston Williams and Josh Malone are not on there for even 16+? Surely Tyler Byrd doesn't run >6 mph faster than them.

Edit: There is just no way this is everyone.

Yeah, something's not right. Berry would absolutely be there. He holds high school state records in track for god's sake.

I'm not aware of any state records held by Berry (not in top 10 GA 100m for instance) but he has gone sub-10.6 and won a 5A state title. If he's not the fastest on the team I start questioning the validity of any of these times.

Sorry, that may be what I'm thinking of. For some reason I thought he set state records. Must've been school records.

If anyone is interested in some reference: running 15mph is running the same speed as a 4 minute mile (or 60 seconds for one 400m lap). That's not to say that Kmac can run a 56 second 400 (that's what his mph conversion would come out to) but he has the speed to run at least a 14-15 second 100. For a guy his size that's pretty great.

Running at 20 mph is equivalent to running an 11.25 100m dash (if you were to sustain that mph speed over 100m). Tyler Byrd running 23.7 mph is amazing. In the World Championship final in 2009 where Usain Bolt set the world record of 9.58, he averaged 23.3 mph. Now, during that 100 meters he reached speeds of 28 mph, but his average was 23.3. Byrd can't break 10 seconds for a 100m, but he can reach a speed that would enable him to do that, so for route running and shaking coverage he should be lethal.

Fun fact, Kongbo runs about as fast as a polar bear.

It would be so very nice to have someone on offense that was a threat to take it to the house every time they touched the ball

Kamara would have to be considered a threat, but I'm not so sure he has the breakaway speed, like say Byrd.....we'll know for sure in about 3 weeks quite possibly

Grizzly bears can run up to 40mph for short bursts

can somebody do the math for me and see who runs the fastest per pound?

mph/lb (like strongest per pound)

Guessing JRM or kongbo wins that

Thanks for the translations, Chandler, they were very helpful.

Just a note: not really accurate to compare track times to football times, as the clock methods are very different.

One example: in track the runner doesn't move until after he hears the gun...but in football, the clock doesn't start until the clock holder sees the runner move. So you go from a reaction delay working against the trackster to a reaction delay working in favor of the football player. Can be anywhere from 0.2 to 0.5 second swing between the two. That's a long time when one of the events being compared only lasts about 4.5 seconds.

But really do appreciate the speed translations, they helped a lot with context and visualizing these guys' speed.
