Some guys just look faster than others.
Plumlee looks fast and is fast.

That white qb Arkansas had (Matt Jones???) looked like he was barely running, but next thing you know, he was 50 yards downfield.

I think it is because Plumlee’s strides are so much shorter.

He looked like he was jogging along until you realized that SEC caliber DBs were twenty yards behind him.

Matt Jones had freakish athletic ability. With today's offenses he'd be a Heisman trophy candidate. Instead he had Houston Nutt, who did install a shotgun read/triple option attack... that we ran maybe three times a game.

Matt Jones ran an official 4.39 at the nfl combine which gave him freak status at 6.6”. None of the big spread guys like Vince or Cam touched 4.39. I would have loved to have seen Matt Jones play QB under an option spread coach like Gus. He would have been absolutely sick.
