Kelley Washington was a freak athlete. 6'3", 225 ran a 4.4 forty.
He played minor league baseball out of high school and was 21 his freshman year at Tennessee. He was like a man among boys. He was just too strong and fast for college DBs.

Honestly this is probably what it is.
I remember prime Leon for his man coverage. I may be a little jaded from the after Achilles play but i swear i don’t remember him ever being good VS speed guys.

A guy who could have been dominant with elite football IQ - Margus Hunt.
Size, power, speed.
Dude had a RAS of 9.93 out of 10.

A guy who could have been dominant with elite athleticism - Rey Maualuga.
Dude just didn't have enough athleticism to be able to succeed as a 4-3 MLB in NFL. Had a RAS of 2.5 out of 10.

He ran like a 5.0 in the forty and was constantly out of shape. He was probably one of the smartest players we have ever had here.
