Philly Brown says he is "Absolutely" Carolina's fastest player

[LinvilleGorge]

Mike tolbert once told me in subway while ording a meatball sub that he runs an unofficial 4.2

 

He can only pull that off though when he's running for that counter to try to beat the lunch rush.

He is the lunch rush.

That could be his new nickname!!

Mike Tolbert aka The Lunch Rush.

Amirite?

LOL what else is he going to say? No I am probably like the 6th fastest and even then there might be a couple more who are faster.

team sprints are run all the time in team sports. I was one of the slowest on the team at sprints (for ex, we all lined up at the sideline and raced to the other sideline multiple times a week as coach watched to see who was fastest). I have seen videos of major powerhouse college teams running team sprints where they all started at the same time and went toe-to-toe. I would think NFL teams do the same

also remember:

CBS Sports NFL Draft analyst Dane Brugler:

"When I saw (Philly Brown) live at the combine, I was sitting in the

stands watching the wide receivers go through their drills and

Brown was just moving at a different speed. He had a few extra

gears. He had the quickness and a speed element and his feet were

just electric. And that really stood out."

Corey Brown as a recruit out of Pennsylvania in 2010 (not to be

confused with the 2009 recruit out of PA also named Corey Brown):

Scout.com: "Brown is a back whose skill set I liken to Reggie Bush.

He is very dangerous outside the tackle box, has great speed and

frankly, projects as a wide receiver as much as a running back to the

next level. ... very elusive in the open field and has excellent hands.

Truly an “athlete” that can be used in many different ways to get

production out of."

ESPN: "Brown is a wonderful athlete blessed with speed and

change-of-direction skills. He splits duties at running back and wide

receiver, but his speed, build and ball skills will land him at wide

receiver at the next level."

Rivals: "(Brown is a) two-time all-state speedster from Philadelphia

… career numbers of 3,000 yards rushing, 1,500 yards receiving and

50 touchdowns scored … All-America sprinter who holds the

Delaware County 200m record (21.4) … all-state in track"

ESPN: "It's all about speed for Corey Brown. The receiver/running

back prospect, who one college recruiter described as "absolutely

electric," recently added success on the track to his list of

accomplishments. During his first season competing in the sport, he

finished fourth in Pennsylvania in the 100-meter dash (10.92

seconds in the state meet) and third in the 200 (21.69). The week

before the state meet, Brown won the 100 at the District 12

championship with a time of 10.54...His speed, playmaking skills

and versatility earned

Brown Under Armour All-American status.

...Many of the nation's top programs are chasing after Brown.

Currently, the defending national champion Florida Gators are

recruiting him the hardest, selling him on a role in their offense

similar to the one played by Percy Harvin...But then, it's not

surprising the Gators want Brown badly. Head coach Urban Meyer

said shortly after he arrived in Gainesville that he wanted to have the

"fastest team in college football." ... Also, given his versatility, a

Harvin-type role seems ideal for Brown."

Dont doubt Philly!

There are two gunners, so he can compete with Jones for best gunner. Why not? Whatever the kid can do to see the field is fine by me. Every time he sees the field he will get better. I can live with that.

I wonder how accurate that is?

It has Darin Reaves as a 4.38 40 speed. Add the fact he isn't even 5'7 and weighs over 200 lbs that is great to have as a Rb.

It list Brandon Williams as 4.8 40 yard which seems very slow and is the slowest of all out TEs.

To extend the topic a bit, the job Gettlemen has done signing undrafted free agents is phenomenal. 

 

Last year:

 

White-Starting CB

Lester-probably starting SS this year, key contributor last year

Horton--played well last season, off to great start this year

 

Most teams don't get this out of their top 3 draft picks, and these players were a big part of the #2 defense.

 

I realize that not all were undrafted free agents or rookies, but this year, several unknowns that Gettlemen found and signed stand a good chance of making the roster:

 

Brandon Williams

Fozzy

Reaves

Bersin

King

Philly

 

Building from the bottom up.

I remember when Taye Biddle was the fastest guy on the team and everyone was all pumped during preseason. 

[caatfan]

My 40 time is wrong too. They got it wrong at a min and a half. It's actually 4.3.

 

I don't blame him for some self promotion. He's trying to make the roster. I hope he does, then I hope he shuts up and lets his field performance speak for itself, one way or the other.

[ed bell]

Yeah, talking about how fast you are isn't really necessary. It is easy to spot on the field, so let's see it.

[countryboi]

philly brown doesnt really play fast though
