re: Who are the fastest college football players of all time

The Dothan Antelope probably ran about a 2.8 or so. He could outrun horses and antelopes and he regularly outran Model T automobiles.

Clocks weren't invented yet so, there really wasn't a valid way to time him. Aeroplanes were pretty new back then too, but he outran them also.

It was arranged to have a cheetah brought to campus and he was faster than the cheetah.

Pop Warner said he was the fastest person he had ever seen.
