but NFL holes are smaller and it takes quicker acceleration to get thru them.

On his first 5 yard acceleration:
"Derrick Henry had the fastest time of any player in any position that we've tested in the last 3 drafts."

So if LF7 only gets 1.6 vs college team, he has better shot in pros? I confused

It's funny you say this because it's pretty clear you're the one that didn't read the OP.
quote:
When running through 1,500lbs of Heavy Bags:
That doesn't mean he has better acceleration than other players. It means he's able to run through tackles without being slowed down much, and anyone arguing he struggled with that is just plain wrong. He was one of the best I've ever seen at running through arm tackles. It seemed like they didn't even slow him down, which this shows was actually true.
ETA: It also explains why he seemed to explode through the 2nd level. Those poor players in the secondary were trying to tackle a freak with a full head of steam and, more often than not, it didn't end well for them.
Bama fans who don't actually understand what they are saying can downvote freely.
