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

I saw Justin Gatlin when he played high school football. I think he was an only a sophomore, but he literally made everyone around him look like they were in slow motion.

He didn’t play football anymore after that season. He went on to be a world class sprinter with a short, but prolific career at UT, and then an Olympic Gold medalist in the 100m.

Dude was/is hella fast.
