I wonder how this compares to the fast backs in the league.

I know Wentz was timed over 30 mph on a scramble but just the other running backs.


I don't think it is physically possible although some say in theory 40mph is possible. I haven't seen that data/study.

Bolt runs 28 mph so my good guess is Wentz is no where near that type speed.

No human being can run 30mph.

Exactly.
