Yeah, this isn't that surprising to be honest. I mentioned this in another thread, but I have played flag football against D-1 athletes. They are fast obviously, but there more people out there than you think that can hit speeds like that. I played against a guy named Brandon Sheperd in one of these leagues and in a dead sprint, he couldn't pull away from me or some of the other guys. However, where he was better than almost everyone else was his acceleration and change of direction. He got to top speed so fast and he could change directions so smoothly. I never had that kind of acceleration and certainly can shift around like that.
So, it isn't necessarily top speed that makes these guys crazy. I mean, Daniel Jones hit 20+ MPH. It is their acceleration. Burrow is an athletic guy, he's fast when he gets moving but the real difference between someone like Lamar and Burrow is that Lamar has freaky acceleration and moves around so effortlessly. Lamar would run circles around Burrow, even if their top speeds were similar.
