There is only one player in college football history who could hang with or beat TH, and he hasn't played a down yet.

He has wheels... won some track meets against Ted Ginn.... worldclass speed is a different story.

That UF-Michigan clip is deceiving. The Michigan guy is about 10 yards farther down field when he goes from his natural rotation from his position and shifts into full gear and Harvin has already been near full speed for 15-20 yards and made 3 cuts.

Now Now LSU82Bill, the clip proves what it is titled SEC Speed Myth... just like the moon landing

Hell, Hester's faster than that dude.

fore the record: i believe TH is the fastest...

Everyone is failing to mention that Harvin had a bad wheel that game. They made points how he never broke out big because he was hurt. Some pulled muscle...

Ya'll are kidding about Trent right?
The dude had a SIX YARD! head start on Harvin AND the angle on him.
Pause that video at :06 and you will see that Trent is at the 40 and Harvin is at the 34!
I could probably catch Harvin with a 6 yard head start.
Don't believe the hype.

but many of those athletes are just track runners not football players. just b/c your fast doesn't mean you can make a transtion to football.
I agree:

I'm in complete agreement here, this video is deceiving.
I'm not discreditting the Michigan player here, it was a great tackle. He obviously has great speed. But take a closer look at this video.
Harvin starts out 6 yards behind his own line of scrimmage, the Michigan player is far enough downfield that he isnt in view.
He first comes into view at about the 4 second mark, on the UF 40, about 7 yards further downfield than Harvin. And the progression continues as follows:
Harvin: 45
UM safety: 48
Harvin: 50
UM safety: UM 47
Harvin: UM 41
UM safety: UM 40
Harvin: UM 36
UM safety: UM 35
The both cross the 30 at the same time.
By the time the UM player is to the sideline, Harvin has about a yard and a half on him, and the guy makes a great reaching tackle.
At no point does the Michigan kid chase Harvin down from behind. Harvin has also been sprinting for nearly 20 yards longer than the defender and is carrying a ball.
Great tackle either way, but this video shows a fast defender execute a textbook perfect cutoff angle more than it shows him being a great deal faster.
Edit: looks like I took too long to write my post and MeauxJeaux beat me to the punch

That guy is fast, but he takes an incredible angle (that allows Harvin to gain about 50 yards). I can tell you 100% for sure that guy wouldn't have caught Holliday.

Does anyone have the kickoff return TH made against Arkansas year before last?
Posted on 8/7/08 at 12:32 pm to Tiger in NY
TH ran in the Olympic trials,and got to the finals in the 100M, did this guy from Michigan ? NO, why ? Because he's not fast enough ! NEXT.
