Fastest Cane RBs of all time?

[UMFanatic]

Who do you have on your list? Guys that once they got into the open field, they were gone.

Little used Al Shipman was a burner back in the day. Tony Gaiter was very fast although I think he was moved to WR.

Froggy Shipman (on turf) was faster than any UM RB ever.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Woody Thompson.

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Santana and Roscoe P

They weren't RBs....Shipman was faster than both on turf.

Did he run track as well?

You have to be more specific....On turf, or on the track??....2 completely different things.

Yes....his speed on turf (40 to 50yds) was unparalleled.

On the field nobody had better long speed that Portis IMO.

Shipman would dust him...Davenport (pre-injury) would as well.

On the football field.....

Shipman....I personally watched him Dust
Kevin Williams and
Jammi German among others. Even whipped Hester 10yrs after leaving UM.

Lamar Miller maybe

McGahee unquestionably the fastest while pulling a pickup truck, right?

 

[rok]

Lamar Miller?

Lamar Miller maybe

I forgot about Lamar Miller. I guess he's second for me behind Shipman.

Duke Johnson had some wheels as a freshman

Froggy would leave Duke and McGahee in his wake on turf.

Froggy took everyone's $$$ at GreenTree back in the day....even while he was in the Canadian FB League, he'd come back and lay waste. Only a few could run with him....Carlos Jones was one. He was the 2nd fastest player on the 94 team.
