Fastest Cane RBs of all time?

[dk72]

Duke Johnson had some wheels as a freshman

He had burst but no long speed

 

[dk72]

Shipman
McGahee
Davenport (pre injury)
Duke
James Stewart
CJJ

You have to have Lamar Miller on that list, possibly 2nd

I knew I was forgetting someone. The truth is definitely top 3. My list was in no particular order, fwiw.

He was a 10.4 guy coming out of HS, iirc. That’s scootin

Yeah but we all know that track speed and speed on the field are different. Duke had a great burst and then would frequently get hawked down. Again he wasn't slow but I don't think he is in the realm of the fastest RBs for Miami.

Chuck Foreman, was never caught from behind either in college or NFL .

The Spin Doctor! From Frederick, MD

He has a nice lighted turf field in my neighborhood

There's no way we're talking about football speed and there's no way y'all really be watching games if y'all are mentioning Duke as one of the fastest lol. No disrespect to him, he's one of my favorite players EVER but if you really watched ALL his college games like I did, you would know he might have been the fastest player - To always get hawked down! Lol. Dude got chased down tackled more than any RB I can remember.

Yeah Duke is closer to a guy like Jaylan Knighton if we are being honest. Knighton might even be faster. Someone like Miller was on another level.

Duke still the man though.

 

[PalyCane]

Averaged 10,1 yds per carry....Highest % in UM History.

While not as fast as Shipman at RB, my recollection is that Alex Johnson was one of our fastest RB's?

[Memnon]

Gray

Dallas
Storm
James
Edwards

Cam Davis/Harris had a 10.94 100m in HS & ran a 4.5 flat in the 40.

Both Knighton & Travis Homer were faster.

 

[CaneTrain1]

Shawnbrey Mcneal pretty fast.

I forgot all about Travis.

 

[KANE]

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

His speed was legendary.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Froggy Shipman

 

[NicKane]

McGahee may have been 4.3ish before the injury.

He definitely was a 4.3 guy before his knee injury and running that fast at around 228 pounds with other worldly. In my opinion, he was the best combination of elite speed, and size. Total freak he was for sure!

 

[Geddy Lee]

Man all I did was say The Duke had wheels freshman year that’s it lol. I’m not putting him anywhere near the top for fastest rbs in Miami history.

 

[3FW]

Pound for pound, Martin Patton may have been the fastest. Another of those guys who you wonder how good they would have become.
