OT: This kid just set the new HS world record in the 100m

I don't see a sub 10.1 guy playing college football. Legit different muscles and conditioning to go back and forth. You can be a star individual instead of a team player also. Would be lovely to get that Johnson-Cook kid he could play anything

I'm sorry but if I'm that fast and I got good enough hands, or I can backpedal good enough, I'm still playing football.

The top level of T&F has too much competition and doesn't pay enough compared to what I would get as a Desean Jackson/Tyreek Hill deep threat.

Terence Newman raced Justin Gatlin in college, had legit Olympic potential if he kept working and still chose football, I'm sure he made way more with the Cowboys than Justin Gatlin did as a gold medalist.

This.

My dad was a track coach in south florida ive been around it my whole life.

The top ppl in track still dont make what an avg guy makes playing football.

I remember when my homie Batman was in college and signed professional for track and bought a Maxima.....those times Aubun as giving out that type of money for sacks lol

The shelf-life for being an elite track runner is extremely short.

You pretty much basically have to be the fastest person in the world in whatever your particular event is in order to really make money doing it.

The only reason I have for people choosing track over the NFL is their health. You have your brain intact when you're done with track, with the NFL... nah.
