    TH is definitely a speed merchant, but IMHO, he has a long way to go before he can be legitimately compared as a football player with the likes of Bob Hayes or Deion Sanders. You're talking NFL Hall of Famers, and there is an acknowledged difference between "track speed" and "football speed."

    But I can easily agree with the statement that "TH is the fastest football player to run the 100m" than I can agree with the claim that was made in the thread last fall that claimed TH as "the fastest football player in the history of the game."

    One thing is certain though ..... I would not want to be an opposing special-teams coach knowing that TH was fielding kicks ....... one tiny mistake and TH is takin' it to the house

    what about justin gatlin?

    anyone know how fast henderson ran the 100?

    i assume the only times counted are from official track competitions, right?

    He had more carries than Scott and/or Murphy last year. You prolly just didn't see him, ya gotta look real close.

    53 carries averaging 6.9 yards per and a 26 yard per kick return average.
    and I wasn't all that impressed with him catching an Auburn DB from behind after RP's fumble either.
    dude sucks. he should quit football.

    Maybe if we ignore him, he'll just go away.

    If he is training for the olympics then maybe by the fall we will see Trindon even faster....sub 10.0 in the 100 meters. That is frightning to think of...for opposing defensive coordinators :grin:
