re: Who is the fastest football player that you've seen in person?

Curtis Dickey. World class sprinter.

He was right up there with Herschel as far as being the fastest big guy.

I can go back even further.

Cliff Branch from Colorado ran 10.0 for 100 meters in 1972. He looked really fast on the football field too... because back then there was a a bunch of white dudes on the field trying to catch him.

Speaking of white dudes...

Richmond Flowers was a hurdler but was one of the fastest dudes in the world when he was at Tennessee.

For for Missouri people. Mel Gray... Dominated the NCAA sprints in the late '60s. Looked like a greyhound on the field.

What sucked for those guys back then....they had to give up sprinting if they wanted to play in the NFL.

Finally, on OJ. They had a receiver named Earl McCullough. OJ and Earl were two legs on USC's 4x100 meter relay. They were the world record holders at that time.
