I will never understand how someone can cover so much ground while looking so slow. 


So slow? Are we remembering the same person? 6'6 242 running a 4.37 40 sure isn't slow. These are NFL Combine numbers

Re-read what I posted and what you quoted then see if your response still makes sense.

Eh, he isn't wrong in regards to how it looked at times. The way he runs doesn't really look as fast as he is truly going.

That was what he meant. Jones was incredibly fast, but he always looked like he was taking a leisurely jog. You'd see him out there puttering along and realize there aren't any defenders in the picture because they are 20 yards behind him and losing ground on every stride.

I have said some uncomplimentary things about Gus Malzahn but I honestly think Matt Jones would have won the Heisman with Gus coaching him. We had enough weapons on offense around him that Arkansas would have been a nightmare to defend.
