The guy who caught Cam (#26) was Trae Waynes. He ran a ludicrous 4.31 40 and was the 11th overall pick. The guy who couldn't catch Cam (#29) ran a very nice 4.43 40 and was the 25th overall pick. 

Cam probably runs a 4.5 after gaining steam. The most iconic is Auburn run vs LSU when he accelerates aways from Patrick Peterson.

Cam was naturally faster in his last college season and first 2 or 3 NFL seasons than he is now. Its just age and hes a big ass dude. If youre not usain bolt youre usually not out-sprinting much smaller younger faster dudes than you

He's still fast as hell. He wasn't gonna get caught by a 4.43 guy and a 4.31 guy just barely reeled him in in time.

he wouldve dusted both of them or at least carried the fast guy into the endzone in his rookie season . Remember that Falcons run from his rookie season? The Bucs run?

Say what you want about Cam Newton, but when I'm older and we're at the point that it's been 10 years since Cam last played a game, I will always be appreciative that I was able to witness the entire career of the best runner at the QB position.  Guys like Cunningham and Vick were faster and more elusive, but Newton's ability to run inside and outside on designed runs while being arguably the best short-yardage runner since he's arrived makes him a different breed.

He would've never outran Trae Waynes. 

Yeah, Waynes has amazing speed.  I loved him coming out of college, he's been underwhelming it seems as a pro though.

Newton has lost a step since his early days.  Someone posted the LSU video earlier.  Newton doesn't have that kind of burst anymore - ankle injuries played a role (I didn't really notice a difference until 2014). Still possesses really good change of direction ability.

Athletic Peak Cam was an absolute marvel from an athletic standpoint.

Straight line speed, I think he's as fast as ever. I don't think he's quite as quick as he used to be in terms of acceleration, but when he gets going he can still flat out run. 

Yea, he still has the straight line speed.  Most guys tend to not lose that without a major leg injury playing a role, even as they get older (Ginn still out-running guys at 32 years old).  It's just the burst that is lacking compared to his younger days.
