Trindon Holliday (9.98)

Nice...bring it to the football field.

 

Trindon ran a 10.03 in the semis, but did not qualify for the finals. He was fifth in heat 1 and would have been third in heat 2, but only the top 4 in each heat advance.

Fifth in a semifinal with 10.03????? Damn that's fast. Must have been a tail wind again.

 

Very fast... and still didn't finish 1st. Tells you something about the competition... but nothing about how they run on a football field.

 

News is reporting he's considering leaving football to concentrate ONLY on track. Anybody know more?

 

I think Trindon is a great athlete, but he should be realistic, I don't ever see him beating the likes of Bolt, Powell, etc. He should focus on football, where he could easily make half a million a year as a return man... maybe even more if he becomes one of the best in the league.

 

dude has two problems. short legs and he wont save a roster spot because he is just a returner.

i think clair mentioned at one point he wanted to look at football, even if it meant the afl. guess money can change everything.

 

I think the problem for Holliday is the olympic games. IF, he concentrates soley on track, he's probobly gonna represent the US in the next games. I don't know what kinda money that brings. Obviously, I hope he stays wth football.
What's the market for return men in the NFL? I remember a couple of them getting decent money, but not many.

 

Trindon was the only runner in the semifinals listed as being affilliated with a college. All the others were sponsored by either Nike or Adidas and presumably are professionals
