ESPN: Speedy Holliday provides LSU offense with another weapon

Re: Holliday in the NFL

Its possible but very unlikely. If you look back in history you see players the size of Trindon that were real good in college but never came close to making it in the NFL. The only exception to that rule was Lionel James but even he had a short lived career. I would say the odds are pretty stacked against him.

 

Re: Holliday in the NFL

Until then I'll enjoy him while he is here. Sure is fun to watch. My brother knows his mom and she said he simply loves football and thats the reason he hasn't gone the pro track route.

 

Re: Holliday in the NFL

only chance is as a returner and maybe 4th wr.

david palmer was 5'8" 174 (listed)

 

I dunno man. That's what Reggie Bush thought.

His nickname is "Sideways."

 

Darren Sproles is only, what, 5'7"? He's returning kicks in the league. Not sure what else, though. But he probably weighs a good bit more than Trindon.

 

5'6", weighs twenty pounds more than Holliday and was an everydown back in college. And likely didn't have great professional track opportunities coming out of school.

 

A nice article on Trindon in the Austin paper:

By the way, here's a list of notable football player/sprinters that I've been working on along with their best official FAT times in the 100 meters and the year in which the ran it:

Bob Hayes 10.06 1964
Raghib “Rocket” Ismail 10.34 1991
Johnny “Lam” Jones 10.14 1977
Herschel Walker 10.23 1982
Willie Gault 10.10 1982
Deion Sanders 10.26 1988
Bo Jackson 10.44 1983
Renaldo Nehemiah 10.18w 1978

Nehemiah's time was winded-aided.
