I have a kind of break away speed when I’m racing my Grampa for the last cookie. bearpants, BigBlueFanatic, Tracker and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it when he cuts back and accelerates, when he out runs the edge after bouncing out, and how he's able to get to the secondary before contact with line backers. He out runs a lot of tackling angles and forces trail defenders to take longer routes to prevent him from scoring. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, he's still a great runner in almost all aspects... but when it comes to pure foot speed, he hasn't outrun a DB in years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been running up the middle since his first year here, I can count on 1 hand how many out side zone runs he's had in all his years here. You dont bet a DB to the edge from a run up the middle of the field even if you are tyreek hill. Ive seen him especially on screen passes beat Sams and safties and get tackles by out side HBs and corners. But he still out runs dbs. Harris would out run most of our WR core too.
