If we're talking like 5m, Geno Atkins might be in the mix simply because he gets a faster start than anyone else. Can't find it now, but I remember seeing a slow motion GIF where the C is snapping the ball, the second the ball moves, Geno is moving. Geno already is coming up and nobody else OL or DL has reacted yet. Geno probably has the best reaction speed on the team, so in a real short race, he would get the best first step.

I think in like 20-30m, Adam Jones could give a pretty good run for anyone's money. In a short-ish distance he is still crazy explosive. If it became a longer race though, he'd lose. He's clearly lost that longer distance speed, which is why he gets like 80 yard returns and then is tackled from behind. Age sucks, but it hasn't taken his short term speed away.

If we're talking 200m+, I would put money down on AJ Green. His long strides would crush someone like Alford who would have to take like 2-3 strides per AJ's 1.

As for the Pads/Helmet vs UA Spandex, just remember that AJ Green ran a 4.5 and Trent Richardson ran a 4.45... would anyone take Trent Richardson over AJ Green in a footrace?

So yes, it's pretty legit to ask for the scenario you're asking about because people are faster at different things and if you're going to be all vague, you're going to get answers like mine and Lostpoet who answers the fastest reader and eater. So don't be such a prick about it.
