Tyler Byrd 23 mph?!?!

So is mph the new 40 time? What's the rationale behind doing mph?

Fade, my guess would be that's just how they have the GPS record/playback function set by default on their computers and ipads. I'd guess they should probably be able to do feet/second, yards/second, meters/second km/hr, or any other unit of measure they desired.

But that's just a guess.

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.


Track nerd ;)

Rockin the Breakfast Club/Pretty in Pink hair.........:)
Kind of funny, the head coach of the team George Watts always gave me hell about it. He ran for UT in the late 70s, then held a coaching position with them up until he left the program. Bet me that if he could run a mile in under 10 minutes (at this point in his life he had scoliosis, was 60 years old and hadn't run in years) then I had to buzz it. 9 minutes and 20 seconds later, a teammate had run to his dorm to get clippers and I left Tom Black Track with a buzz that day.

TIL Kongbo runs as fast as a polar bear

Kongbo is fast as a polar bear on 2-for-1 baby seal night at the diner!

I know, I know, so rude and insensitive to baby seals....



p.s. On an almost-completely unrelated note, isn't it crazy that no polar bear in the wild has ever met any penguin in the wild? Seems like they should be pals....

Yes JP, the waiting during the last few weeks can challenge sanity.

Told y'all the other day. I was in on Malone's interview and he said Byrd is probably the fastest guy on the team.

Best thing about the list is the 3 newcomers at the top. Tyler Byrd, Nigel Warrior, and Jonathan Kongbo should all make huge impacts.

By the end of the season, I expect Byrd to be the starting slot receiver (sorry J. Smith), Kongbo to be the starting DE opposite Barnett (sorry Vereen), and Warrior to be that 3rd safety like TKjr the last 2 years.

Love the talent on this team.

Look for Byrd to get jet sweeps and some carries out of the backfield on misdirection plays
