Wind or no wind ... that's blazing.

I read an interview where he said that participating in JUCO track helped develop his speed. I'll see if I can find it for you.

No doubt. Most people couldn't run sub-10.4 with a hurricane behind them. :)

R Neal and D Young were on the UT track team this past season, presumably for the same reason.

Unfortunately, I believe the track team did not score any points in the 100,200, 4x100, or 4x200.

Neither of those guys are D1 track schollie guys. They're fast but not THAT fast. DY did have the 2nd fastest 60m on the squad for the season though.

No but the training and technique is helpful for football.

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of chatting with Sam Graddy about his bid for the Olympics. Having never had any track training, I was amazed at the detail and repetition that goes into technique just to run 100 meters in a straight line.

But for Patterson, a 10.33 in the 100 m means a 4.13 40 when you use a little math.

The math doesn't work that way. The time over distance isn't linear so that kind of extrapolation doesn't work.

Besides, as noted elsewhere that 10.33 is suspiciously low compared to any of his other times (over .20 faster than his next fastest) so one has to wonder if it was wind aided. Still, add all his recent times together and you're still getting low 10.6's. That plenty impressive for a guy of his stature.
