    IMO, our top 5 fastest Tigers:

    1. Bennie Brazell- obviously
    2. Skyler Green- another obvious one
    3. Corey Webster- at the beginning of the season, I would not have thought about putting him up here, but he has ran absolutely everyone down
    4. Devery Henderson- I've yet to see him absolutely outrun someone, but he is a track guy
    5. Not sure, Ronnie Prude?

    Reason I'm asking is because on the Saints board, some have heard that Corey Webster is a bit slow and I'm making sure that my eyes aren't deceiving me.

    Corey Webster can run down almost anyone on the field in every game. I remember one game where someone was breaking away down the side of the field with only Jack Hunt chasing him. Webster is almost on the other side of the field but still can make up the distance and knocks the runner out of bounds. When Webster was approaching them it almost looked as if the other two players were not at full speed.

    LaRon Landry tracked more than one receiver down from behind this year, too.

    based on pure speed:

    Brazell has world-class track speed, Henderson and Green are probably just a step slower, I think Webster has good speed, in the 4.4 - 4.5 range, but not in the 4.3 range like the guys above

    All the players you have listed are faster than Webster in addition I believe Randall Gay and several of the freshmen are faster. I seem to remeber Webster chasing a player who had broken a long run. Gay passed Webster and tackled the player preventing a score. Gay's speed surprised me. I thought he was one of the slower dbs. Webster could have been tired or slighly injured during the game but that is what I saw.

    4.33 for a 200 lb RB? Now we're beginning to sound like Arkansas fans. He's probably much closer to 4.5.
