Jones was blazing fast in a straight line, but didn't have the change of direction skills of Santana. Santana had everything a good WR needs. Hands, speed, quickness, agility, strength, and toughness. I know he had to strike fear in opposing DB's in college, lol. IIRC, they both ran track here and I think Santana was a little faster. I could be wrong on that one. It could be that Jones was a little faster.I've always wondered about this because Jones always seemed to be in the shadow of Wayne, Moss, and Johnson.
@SWFLHurricane is actually the fastest Cane ever. Once clocked at 4.09 to a plate of Chicken ParmI think Jones was the faster of the 2, but I'll take @SWFLHurricane's word for it otherwise if He decides to chime in.
Both were fast....Tana faster in the 40...but both would lose in a 40 "On-turf" to Froggy Shipman...I think Jones was the faster of the 2, but I'll take @SWFLHurricane's word for it otherwise if He decides to chime in.

Yea, Froggy was insanely fast, too. Like you had to see dude run in person, to grasp what you were watching.Both were fast....Tana faster in the 40...but both would lose in a 40 "On-turf" to Froggy Shipman...
Fast isn't the word...on turf..at UM...Never saw anyone fasterYea, Froggy was insanely fast, too.
@Brooklyndee saw froggy take EVERYONES $$$$....from Hester...too Randall Hill....They don't know about Shipman LOL. Forgot who Miami was playing, but I saw Him hit that corner so fast one time I looked at my homeboy like, "Did He just do that?". Fastest cat I've ever seen in a UM uniform, period.
Al Shipman with pads on was the fastest player ever at Miami. His quickness, burst, and top end speed was better than Moss or Hester. Problem was they played him at running back and he was probably 150lbs at 5-6. If he played slot receiver he would have been a stud. Played against him in high school and he reminded me of Deion with his speed and quickness. Just too smallThey don't know about Shipman LOL.

That was a 3.89 Pal...(later to be determined wind-aided)@SWFLHurricane is actually the fastest Cane ever. Once clocked at 4.09 to a plate of Chicken Parm
Wind-aided but in dress shoes and the slow stopwatch thumb of Don Soldinger too. In my book it was really a 3.81 flat.That was a 3.89 Pal...(later to be determined wind-aided)
SPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDJones was faster at the 100m. Neck and neck in the 60. On the field? Not close. We had some seriously good track and field teams back then. None of those guys though we’re faster than Tory Mitchell (RIP)
