Yeah running a 40 in shorts and running it in full pads is different. They are both fast. Hard to know who is football faster. I know Parson has some serious fast closing speed. Looks like someone hitting fast forward on the film.Parson likely faster but Henderson during his playing days was one of the fastest LB in the league.

Parsons is faster but the gap between Hollywood and the average speed of LBs in his era was probably bigger than Parsons relative to the average speed of modern era LBs.Who do you think ran a faster 40 time, Micah Parsons or Hollywood Henderson? There are different sources out there, but what is your best guess?
Hollywood was LT before LT came into the NFL.
Too bad Hollywood also blew his career.
Hollywood returned some punts and kick-offs in the NFL and he had some TDs doing it.Was Henderson 250 pounds running a 4.3 40? I doubt it.
A lot of the players some of you grew up cheering for in the 60s and 70s would get bullied in today’s NFL because they would be physically outmatched.
A guy like Bruce Carter would’ve looked like Ray Lewis back then.

Those same players....translated into today's world of life-long regimens of weight training and diet would be WAY bigger, stronger , faster than they were 50 years ago.Was Henderson 250 pounds running a 4.3 40? I doubt it.

Hmmm maybe Parsons on a return. Lol. I doubt they chance the injury. I bet he would not be fun to tackle.True but comparing players from the 70's and 80's to todays player is apples and oranges. No doubt Henderson was a change from LB before him, he brought speed which is why we would see him on kickoff returns and he was successful at it.
