Eddie McDoom vs Jehu Chesson race. Who you got?
. @CoachJim4UM... we're real close to having a race between Eddie McDoom and Jehu Chesson. That's who eddie would have to dethrone
— Sam Webb (@SamWebb77) September 12, 2016
So, who you got? I think Jehu defends his title, but it'll be close.

...but is he Freddy Jackson fast???
September 12th, 2016 at 3:29 PM ^
loved it when McShay was plowing through that sammy on the sidelines. he was caught with his mouth full of meat several times on the broacast when levy and griese threw it to him...
September 12th, 2016 at 3:47 PM ^
knew McShay loved meat in his mouth.

Could explain the mouth full of meat
September 12th, 2016 at 9:03 PM ^
On top of that, on the sidelines he was wearing a gray jacket and had gray slacks. While I am not the fashionista nor do I want to be his haberdasher, why the fuck couldn't he have worn BLUE, he was not in columbus!!!
September 12th, 2016 at 2:10 PM ^
Let's see who can run a faster fade route. I care about that more.

Evans isn't in the convo?
September 12th, 2016 at 3:27 PM ^
Yes.
For fastest player on the team? No.
September 12th, 2016 at 3:28 PM ^
Probably not.
Evans was a 10.9x 100 meter guy in high school.
Jabrill Peppers was a 10.5x 100 meter guy in high school.
Chesson ran 10.7 in HS, and is apparently faster then Peppers now...
McDoom ran a 10.85 100m in HS.
September 12th, 2016 at 4:48 PM ^
September 12th, 2016 at 7:57 PM ^
Yeah... he'd also be in the conversation.
There are suddenly some very fast dudes on this team.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:07 PM ^
I'll take the Michigan guy.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:07 PM ^
September 12th, 2016 at 3:28 PM ^
Jabrill wins in the 70

And which way is the wind blowing?
September 12th, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
First, I'm just happy we can have this discussion and could even expand it to four or five guys.
I watched the Michigan247 Facebook Live stream of Speight's press session over lunch and someone asked him this exact question. His answer: Jehu.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:09 PM ^
I actually think McDoom will take this. I love Chesson, but it almost looks like he's lost some speed, or maybe is afraid to go 100% after his bowl game injury. That's based solely on my untrained eyes.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:45 PM ^
He's never looked fast to me, but then when you compare him to the guys he's running past, he looks fast. He seems to always have an extra gear. Like that deep ball he barely missed last week... The defender was keeping pace, until he wasn't. Seems like he goes 90% and is one of the fastest on the field, then hits that extra gear when needed, then he's the fastest.
September 12th, 2016 at 3:22 PM ^
Agreed. Seems like he should have been able to get to that ball. Hopefully when it really counts, he'll haul it in
September 12th, 2016 at 3:55 PM ^
I don't know that he should have. However, if he could have gotten a tad bit of separation before it was thrown then maybe it didn't need to be so far out in front and he could have run it down. Last year you would see him slow up about the time the ball was thrown, this wasn't the case from what I could tell. The ball was just too far. Which was better than too short. It was where it needed to be IMO.
September 12th, 2016 at 5:44 PM ^
He's probably still adjusting from the injury. He's always had great wheels and been an excellent blocker but I remember in his first two years on the field he used to have a hard time tracking the long ball. Seemed like he was misjudging the trajectory and how to compensate a lot. Didn't he get contacts or something too? Maybe he needs a checkup.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:10 PM ^
I'll just sit here, realize they're on the same team, tent my fingers, and laugh....
September 12th, 2016 at 2:10 PM ^
Follows football season. We can address this speculation then.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:14 PM ^
Exactly what I came here to say...McDoom seems to get going more quickly based on watching them both run the fly sweep (part of why I think McDoom has taken those carries from Jehu) but I think the long stride "Bolt effect" comes into play over a longer distance.
::Meant to be a response to someone who said this earlier in the thread::
September 12th, 2016 at 2:15 PM ^
Chesson's got the long speed, but McDoom does seem quicker and really sticks his foot in the ground.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:17 PM ^

Partly because of their builds, but watching McDoom and Evans come around end so fast reminded me of Breaston.
September 12th, 2016 at 2:31 PM ^
With Denard. Always have, always will.
