But he does already ham it up crossing finish line, so he has part of it down. 

Although could not open link for some reason. Was it the Raiders ?

I just remember being in Jr. High, and thinking that the guy was just going to light the NFL on fire.  And then, he didn't.  Part of why I wanted to use that example is because so many fans get enamored by blazing speed numbers, and seem to forget that actual football skills are more important.

In the case of Alford, who cares if the guy can run a 4.27 forty?  If the guy can't be in position to catch the ball, and demonstrate the ability to catch the ball on a consistent basis, the team will never have confidence to put him on the field.
