We coulda had Usain Bolt and we go and draft Micah Parsons.

This is worse than Taco vs TJ Watt!!







Am I doin’ this right, guys?

20 Olympic sprinters have played NFL football.

A TON of sub 10.40 cats.

I really have no frame of reference. Just two different worlds, but Bolt isn't the fastest man on the planet just because it sounds cool. Parsons ran maybe 30 yards total with a change of direction. Bolt's speed was reached at minimum 20 yards later.

It was just a fun fact for everyone to enjoy....wasn't trying to get into a debate on football athletes vs sprinters

Could you save me some time and tell me?

That's the problem, why talk about things ya really know nothing about?

That hit was in 1990 in 91 Okoye had over 1000 yards and another pro bowl.

Did y’all see Jaylon’s path of pursuit on that play (see below)?

I wanted Surtain more than anybody. But man, I am happy to be wrong. With the emergence of Diggs, Parsons helps us so much more
Exactly the secondary is dependent on the front seven for success. You can have all the talent in the world back there and it won’t mean spit if they’re chasing their assignment for 5+ seconds every play

Was Usain Bolt wearing pads and a helmet and weighing in at 248lbs? Let THAT sink in lol… Speed AND size. Parsons is a rare combination of athletic prowess— but his instincts might actually be his greatest asset.

We may be looking at the very early days of a generational talent at LBer. Couldn’t be happier lol
Impressive!

And after that, how did things go?

Fun fact Usain Bolt ran almost 28mph in the back half of the 100 meters when he won and broke a world record in 2008....

Just let that sink in...almost 10 mph faster that Micah was....and Micah was a missile
Ok que RonnieT and Razon for a track and field history lesson. ; )
