He ran track at auburn and I am seeing numbers for the 100 yard ranging from 9.1 to 10.23
I should note, that the 100 yard dash and 100 meter dash are two different things.
The world record 100 meter dash is 9.69 seconds. Jeff Demps ran it in 9.96 which is the fastest time for a football player.

Rainey also won a 4x100 team NCAA title. Both Rainey and Demps were fast. Though Percy Harvin had more football speed, pretty good at track too.
