Could we sign that lad from the Ravens who caught a big kick-off and then ran through everybody from one end to the other, last night on the Superbowl?
11 seconds, apparently. One end to the other.  That's Olympic timing.

Ball at his feet instead of in his arms, no problem after a few days at Bodymoor. Jacoby Jones. The Villa are waiting.
Just a thought, no transfer window on our end, anyway.

It's only 100 yards, though, so you'd be looking over 12 seconds for 100 metres. Still pretty quick, mind :)
My PB was 10.4 and was no where near UK entry times

Very impressive time especially since he was carring extra weight with pads and helmet, running through people and not in an actual straight line. Phenomenally quick!

It was 109 yards because he caught it at the back of the end zone.  I remember reading somewhere that Arsenal had a player in the 90s who could run a sub 11 seconds 100m.

Louis Donowa was pretty fast, I remember. Shit at football but fast.

The NFL corrected it to 108yds. The player was Jacoby Jones who was an All-American collegiate athlete. In fact a lot of the athletes go into one of the major sports qualifying for more than one. It is something to watch up close.
