DK Metcalf 100 meter dash vs Top USA sprinters on NBC Saturday

**jjgold** · 05-04-21, 05:40 PM

He is some wide out

I doubt though he can win

**Hman** · 05-04-21, 05:43 PM

I still can't believe Seattle got him where they did in draft

I hope he doesn't get hurt. Track and field runners pull muscles all the time.

I think the fact that he broke his neck/spine, teams were staying away from him in the 1st round.

Nobody can beat track runners

It’s an art in itself

**RudyRuetigger** · 05-04-21, 08:13 PM

Maybe put a cop siren as the start of the race???

**JIBBBY** · 05-04-21, 08:25 PM

Very true. It's just not worth doing in my book. No matter how great of an athlete you are... Football pays more than this crap.

only thing here that cant be rigged is DKs time

everything else could be rigged bigly

**DrunkHorseplayer** · 05-04-21, 10:57 PM

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.

**KVB** · 05-04-21, 11:09 PM

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...

Blah blah blah, next gen my nuts, he isn't touching elite world class sprinters that do this for a living, is he fast yes is he top tier elite sprinter fast no.

**KVB** · 05-05-21, 12:55 AM

We'll have to see.

Could be so clunky out of the blocks that he's trying to catch sub 11.

Guy might blow a tire.... then out for the entire season. lol I can't believe his contract allows participation in other events? Just not worth it.

**JIBBBY** · 05-05-21, 05:46 AM

I smell a false start. He could be to pumped up and jacked..

like some have already said in this thread it isn't so much about the speed comparison, it's getting out of the blocks

**KVB** · 05-05-21, 02:11 PM

Apparently he has the goal of the Olympics.

So that says to me he's training.

Maybe he surprises to the upside here.

Not so sure about that. Usain Bolt was making at least $20 million a year and his net worth is like +$100m. Obviously, Metcalf won't have that level of success.

**Mac4Lyfe** · 05-05-21, 03:01 PM

For comparison, Metcalf's base salary last year was $700k. His net worth is just $1 million. Maybe he needs to win this race.

**jjgold** · 05-05-21, 03:03 PM

The NFL is some cold heartless people. The guy is working out to better the team and they are going to fukk him because he got hurt? Players should not even take a piss unless it's at the teams facility. Oh, I forgot, some were forbidden because of Covid. Unreal.

Mac what are you talking about man? All Metcalf has to do is stay clean... he would probably be one of the highest paid WR's of all time. Would blow Bolt away. Metcalf would also get a lot of endorsement deals as well.

Ship some of that stuff you've been smoking.
