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

My first college football game ever was in 1987 when Deion Sanders was a Junior and even as a kid watching his first game I could tell he was just noticeably faster than all of the other players.

Also went to a lot of Titans games and watched Chris Johnson run away from NFL players like they were running barefoot in the mud. He never gets the credit that some of the other RBs and speedsters get, but I have never seen an NFL player (in person) zip away from fast dudes like he did. And he wasn't exactly a 100% effort guy either.
