Kamara's movements are so smooth and natural that people don't realize how fast he is moving unless they look at the yardage markers going by.

I thought we said that the "door knob could hit him....."

That’s impressive! Im pretty sure I’m at -1!

Well, that's at least double what mine would be. It takes me 10 seconds to get out of my desk chair.

That's beyond impressive for all three. I would have thought either Olave or Shaheed would have been quicker out of the gate given the size differentials alone.

But a lot of people here said Alvin is already in decline and probably falling off the cliff this year?

I wonder if there is a correlation between RB big plays and OL performance?

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

Very impressive. Incredible for a man Chase’s size also imo.

Extend this man so he can retire a Saint.

11 meters per second? That doesn’t even compute

 

[Outbackjack]

And to think that ref kept up stride for stride with AK

 

[new city champ]

And yet he hasn’t been a long run breaker for several seasons…

 

[Quiet Storm]

I saw on IG some of his best runs/plays and he hits the hole fast and will take off, he's just not a fast runner.

At the beginning of the season he always looks so quick but he'll usually get injured, play through it and that's when (to me) he looks off or slow to gain speed.

It’s a lot like me, 11 seconds a meter.
