Don't know if he was one of the fastest in the league, but he certainly does not get enough credit for how much raw speed he had.
I remember seeing an interview with a family member, maybe a brother or a cousin, who talked about winning money on Cris when he won the 100 yd dash at the Florida High School state championships. Florida always has some of the fastest high school athletes in the country and Collinsworth was just a gangly white kid who did not look like he had a chance. But that guy could fly.
