More of those and we'll have the Ravens talking about our Running Back QB!
Many modern QBs are good athletes. Hell, Daniel Jones hit 20+ MPH on a a few years ago. Once these guys get up and running, they can hit impressive speeds. The biggest difference between a guy like Lamar and Burrow is acceleration and change of direction. Lamar is not only flat-out faster than Burrow, but he gets to top speed so quickly. Joe does not. This is also why Shaheed looked so much faster than Joe - he accelerated much quicker.
I've played flag football against several D1 athletes. Their speed isn't what is mindblowing, it is how fast they get there and how easily they can change direction. I've ran the forty in the 4.7 range, and have kept up with guys much faster than that in a dead sprint where we are both already moving at top speed. Where I get blown away is when we both have to run up to our speeds. If it is game of acceleration, it was over. I couldn't compete.
This is why Tyreek looks so freakishly fast. That man gets to top speed, so so quickly.
