Who is the fastest CB in the league?

[TXCowboyVol]

Right now, today. Pads or no pads, just straight-line speed, in the 40, in the 100 m.....doesn't matter....who is???

Newman, Champ, and Hall have to be in the top 5....where's Pacman???

Gotta be Jacques Reeves.

 

[tomson75]

Henry.

 

[Hostile]

My money would be on Nnamdi Asomugha.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

Not sure.....BUT, I am sure it is not TNew

 

[jchap]

Fabian Washington?

 

[Teague31]

Gotta be Jacques Reeves.

i'm sure educan would claim he ran a 4.1

 

[daynje]

I got my money on D. Hall

 

[tomson75]

I got my money on D. Hall

Owens might take that bet.

In the 60 meters or 100 meters, it would be Newman -- his PRs are 6.62 in the 60 and 10.20 in the 100.

My money would be on Nnamdi Asomugha.

FWIW, he ran a 4.48 40 at the combine.

Not that it is the end all, be all.... but I think there are players faster than him. Maybe not better; but certainly faster.

What Adam said....

Tye Hill of the Rams also has great speed.

 

[AdamJT13]

Just for reference on Newman's times, Deion Sanders' PR at Florida State was a 10.26. And Newman's 60m time is the fastest I've ever found for an NFL player.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

Just so nobody freaks out about Adam's post, guys like Darrell Green and Curtis Dickey (three-time NCAA 60y dash champ) were surely faster than Newman... But of course they ran the races in yards.

I can't believe that clip of Newman running down Moss isn't on Youtube somewhere. I still have that game and should upload it... But I don't even have a Youtube account.

newman could run down TO twice before Hall could touch him.

Newman literally looks exactly like deion sometimes, I mean EXACTLY, its scary.
I wish he looked like that all the time...

They ran the 100 meters, too. Green's PR was 10.08, and Dickey's was 10.11.

Here's the list of everyone who had ever run faster than Terence Newman's 10.20 as of Dec. 31, 2007 --

There aren't many guys on that list who ever played in the NFL.

Here's the all-time list for the NFL (unless I'm missing any former NFL players on that list) --

9.95 Jimmy Hines
10.06 Bob Hayes
10.06 Ron Brown
10.07 Alvis Whitted
10.08 Darrell Green
10.09 Sam Graddy
10.10 Willie Gault
10.11 Curtis Dickey
10.14 James Trapp
10.16 James Jett
10.17 Michael Bates
10.17 Sultan McCullough
10.18 Michael Bennett
10.18 Samie Parker
10.20 Terence Newman

Trindon Holliday (10.02) a running back and kick returner for LSU, would join the list if he ever makes it to the NFL. But at 5-foot-5, 159 pounds, I'm guessing he'll do what Xavier Carter did and give up football and pursue professional track.

if you bring up Newman running down Moss, than you have to bring up Lee Evans running down Newman :laugh2:


You have to count speed with pads because that's the only way they play...

There is a good reason why Newman looks like Deion. He does something that Sanders used to do to literally stand out from the crowd.

I was always under the impression that Sanders had the fastest combine 40 time ever and considered the unofficial fastest NFL player.
