The 15 Fastest Football Players of All Time

Football has evolved through the years. Players are now stronger and bigger than ever before, but the huge difference from yesterday’s game to today’s game is speed.

Some players have just stood out for their amazing speed, but pure speed isn’t the only thing that this list measures.

It’s what you did with it that counts. No use putting any college draft busts on this list if they couldn’t put their speed to good use.

Many players on this list are more modern because the NFL has gotten faster, but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t looked at the Hall of Famers who burned the competition with their impressive speed at the time. I even have a white guy on this list…

15. Don Hutson

The only white guy to make this list. If you watch a highlight real of the guy, all of the plays are deep with his arms stretched running past that unlucky cornerback. Don Hutson is a player for any age and all ages and is the only football player that I would even mention in the same sentence as the legendary…

14. Jerry Rice

The only player on this list to have a mediocre 40 time. For some reason when he had on those shoulder pads he was blazing fast. Regardless of what his 40 time says, if you watch film of him, he is running past people.

13. Eric Dickerson

Dickerson’s signature play was one where he was running into open space with two defensive backs chasing right after him but unable to catch up. Dickerson’s great ability helped him set records which have stood the test of time, most notably his mark for most rushing yards in a single season.

12. Herschel Walker

Like Dickerson, he was an amazing athletic specimen. Many will recall the great strength he possessed for someone his size, but his speed was just as impressive. His athleticism translated into great success in the NFL, yet for some reason I always expected more of him than he gave.

11. Ron Brown

A St. Louis Rams wide receiver with great hands and even better speed. Brown was an Olympic gold medal winner. Unfortunately, that did not always translate to great success in the NFL which is the only reason he isn’t higher on this list.

10. Champ Bailey

The first of four current players on this list. If you are a shutdown corner, you have to have great speed and that’s what Bailey has. Bailey has had a stunning career so far with the Redskins and Broncos.

9. Bo Jackson

There are many what-ifs in Jackson’s Career. If they had all been answered, who knows how good he might have been. The fastest running back on my list still had his fair share of success with the Raiders, but that doesn’t answer the what-ifs.

8. Cliff Branch

If this list shows anything, it’s that speed kills. Many football players with the No. 21 were super fast, like LT. However, out of all of the great running backs to carry that number, Branch, a wide receiver, could outrun them all. Unfortunately, as many great plays he made with his speed in big games, it didn’t always translate into wins just like…

7. Randy Moss

Even in his 30’s Moss was still the deep option in 2007 for Tom Brady despite a blazing Donte’ Stallworth. You really should have seen him as a Viking. Those were arguably the best and unarguably the fastest years of his career.

6. Joey Galloway

Even today, as he gets older, it doesn’t seem he is getting that much slower. Even as his 37th birthday approaches, he can still run past defenses with his great speed and most people would put him higher. He would be in my top five if it wasn’t for…

5. Devin Hester

Despite a historical kick return on the first play of Super Bowl 41, the Bears couldn’t pull off a victory against Peyton Manning and the Colts on the NFL’s biggest stage, but let’s not take anything away from Hester. In my mind, he is without question the greatest and fastest punt/kick returner of all time. However, his scouting report says differently and so does his 40 time. It’s yet more proof that all the answers aren’t on paper.

What is tarp

4. Willie Gault

The first of two players on this list of have a …

Jan Steele / John Cage (MP3s)

Brian Eno’s Obscure Records label released only 10 albums during its existence from 1975 through 1978. Some of these have been reissued on CD (among them Eno’s own 1975 masterpiece Discreet Music), but for some reason the album Voices and Instruments (Obscure No. 5, 1976) only exists on out-of-print vinyl. It is a very quiet and beautiful record, featuring three compositions by Jan Steele on one side, and five compositions by John Cage on the other side. Lyrics are by James Joyce and E. E. Cummings, performers include Jan Steele, Richard Bernas, Steve Beresford, Fred Frith, Robert Wyatt, and Carla Bley. It is not just mellow, it is avant-mellow…

Barack Obama may tap Hillary Clinton to be his Secretary of State

Shuttle on its way to beef up space station

A secret meeting between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton yesterday has set rumors swirling that the president-elect might tap his former rival to be his secretary of State.

The pair met Thursday afternoon at Obama’s office in downtown Chicago, Times staff writers confirm. Neither politician has spoken publicly about the meeting, but unidentified aides have told media outlets like CNN that Obama offered Clinton the role.

E-mails sent to Clinton’s aides and to Obama’s transition team were not immediately returned Friday.

Although Clinton has said in the past that she would not be interested in a Cabinet position, she seemed to indicate that she open to the possibility in an interview on Monday at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards.

When asked what role she might play in an Obama administration, Clinton answered:

“I am happy being a senator from New York; I love this state and this city. I am looking at the long list of things I have to catch up on and do. But I want to be a good partner and I want to do everything I can to make sure his agenda is going to be successful.”

Clinton campaigned hard for Obama in the month leading up to the election, putting to rest rumors that she was bitter after her loss in the Democratic primary. Even her husband, former President Bill Clinton, rallied voters for Obama.

Since winning, Obama has surrounded himself with several former staffers from Clinton’s Presidency. Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, served as a top advisor in Clinton’s White House.

Obama was rumored to also be considering Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel of Nebraska for Secretary of State.

Billy Joel And Elton John To Tour Together As Long As They’re Still Standing [Global Domination]

In news that will send many an ex-drama club member’s heart a-flutter, Elton John announced on The View this morning that his world tour with fellow ivory-tinkler Billy Joel, which begins in March, will last for “at least” two years. Think of it as a recession special: “It’s two people for the price of one,” Sir Elton told ABC’s class in chattering. “Our ticket prices are the same as you’d see anyone else, but there’s two of us. In this day and age, we hope to be getting people value for their money.” Now that is a message that anyone can get behind! After the jump, a few Joel/John collaborations from years past. (Hey, I got over denying my roots this summer, you know?)
