He looks he might be faster in the second half of the race, so the question is how long does it take to get up to speed?

If this is true below, and he could somehow average 22.64 mph without pads and a good start then he would break 10 seconds.

If he can average about 22 mph he's looking at 10.16 and at 21.5 mph he's looking at about 10.4 seconds...

D.K. Metcalf reached 22.64 MPH and traveled 114.8 yards to chase down Budda Baker on his 90-yard interception return (Baker's top speed: 21.27 MPH).

This was the 2nd-fastest speed reached on a tackle this season.#SEAvsARI | #Seahawks | #RedSea pic.twitter.com/nyX0Y16LQz

22.64 MPH in helmet and pads is freakishly impressive

there is very little to glean from that though.

a top 100 Meter runner will take over half the race to hit top speed. and they will only actually maintain that speed for 15-20 meters.

If you took Usain's top measured speed in his world record run and turn it into a "somehow avg that" He'd have run the 100 in 8.05 seconds.


Metcalf will be in last place by a noticable margin the first 20 meters due to lack of trained starting block explosion and reaction time. He'll see himself down instantly and them prob tighten up and press, which is the opposite of what a good runner would want to do.

From glancing at this field, he's not facing many of the top US sprinters, So maybe he'll be able to keep it close with some unknown

His eye should be on staying close to a former soccer player that quit to do track named Bismark Boateng.

I'd make Metcalf +550 in a head to head vs Boateng if they happen to be a heat together.

he obviously won't get to the final

[asiagambler]

He can't touch Darrell Green, who ran a 10.08 100m in college and who defeated Willie Gault, an Olympic sprinter, in the NFL Fastest Man competition.

Trindon Holliday was faster, best time was 10.00 flat

[JIBBBY]

Pull that hammy?



Even the greats pull em at full throttle..

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Trindon Holliday was faster, best time was 10.00 flat

Never heard of him.

[JIBBBY]

Olympic sprinters simply can haul ass!! I'm always impressed.. Pro sport athletes can only dream of keeping up..

[asiagambler]

Never heard of him.

Return specialist for Broncos for few years

[JIBBBY]

Never dabble in a new profession.. Could get ugly ..

[Chi_archie]

any books offering anything on this?

[Chi_archie]

I guess NJ and Colorado are allowing people to throw money away on Metcalf

but only throw away

[Mac4Lyfe]

What time does he run tomorrow? I'm hoping he fares well but I'm thinking he's going to get smoked. Last place most likely.

[KVB]

There should be a prop on whether he pulls a hammy.

Things start at 4:30 eastern but I think there is other action before his race.

[Chi_archie]

They Prelims will happen before the coverage airs, so they'll show a replay

he won't be in the finals

Note: The 100m preliminary rounds will be contested before the NBC broadcast begins at 4:30 p.m. ET, which means Metcalf’s race will be streamed live on USATF.TV and Peacock at 3:32 p.m. ET. NBC will replay Metcalf’s prelim, tape-delayed, and the 100m final will be shown live on NBC at 5:03 p.m. ET

Just bet 50 points he'd make it to the Finals in Archie's Sportsbook.

hey there's always a chance. gotta believe in miracles

I'll be rooting for him for sure. This is just great to get Track and Field some attention as we gear up for the olympics.

I follow it pretty closely and really love it. And this indoor and early outdoor season has been the most interesting year in quite some time, For the US in particular

lots of stars coming up, especially in middle distances, which is rare for the USA

[KVB]

First thing that comes to mind is JuVaughn Harrison from LSU and his high jump/long championships in the same meet. Amazing. Now that I think about, I might have made a thread on that...lol.

I love the sport. Was watching some on ESPN the other day but haven't followed too closely recently.

I ended up tuning in during the steeplechase.

Hoping to put a dent in the quarterly financials of Archie's Sportsbook today.

If not, hoping to get a free drink ticket or two.

[KVB]

I would like to see him run the 200m, or like the 150 or so.

Get a chance to see him really turn it on without pads.

make those betpoints!

He could run last if all the runners are Olympic caliber running against him today..

[Chi_archie]

they are not

a couple of them out of the 18 or so of them are, but they are national level

[KVB]

He'd do worse

200 probably too far, but 150 might be up his alley or alittle closer than the 100.

They said he ran 114.8 yards in that football chase.

[Chi_archie]

does a white dude beat DK Metcalf's time today?

no +400

[Mac4Lyfe]

He's about to race next. Live on Peacock.

[Mac4Lyfe]

2nd to last in his heat. 10.36

[Chi_archie]

i'm blown away and surprised by his race, DK did much better than I thought

10.36- tied for last in his race and a white guy (devin quinn) had a way better time 10.22

[Mac4Lyfe]

That was what I about expected. Not bad for a guy that hasn't ran track in years. Good promotion for a sport that could really use it. I love Track and Field.

[Mac4Lyfe]

The girl from LSU in the first 100 heat ran a 10.7. That's fast.

[KVB]

10.36!



Props to the linesmaker at Archie's Sportsbook, I should have tried to buy .1 seconds for 30 cents or so.

[pavyracer]

#141 country in the world national record for 100m is 10.36.

[KVB]

He'd do worse

You're right. He clearly reached his fastest inside 100m.

[JIBBBY]

He finished last but represented. He wasn't embarrassed. That's about all you can ask for from this big guy coming in off the football field.

[KVB]

He's so much bigger than the other guys.

lol.

Solid race for him. He got out of the blocks much, much faster than I though he would.
