4.34 huh? Must have been into a brisk wind.
around.
In any case, he's one fast SAM LB and I cannot wait to see him combine that speed (confirmed or not) with Don Brown's D (blitzes or not).
I confess I'd be surprised if Peppers were faster than Denard. But I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
Please get here soon, football season . . . .

Peppers seems like he is about as close to a utility player, if you will, as you might be able to get in football merely because you can play him in several places, although the comparison ends about there. Of course, he will probably be a couple tiers above, say, the Scott Sheldons and Shane Halters of the world (actual utility players in the MLB, of course, although those two once played all nine positions in a game) while he's doing this in football.
Kind of hard to pick out "utility players" in the MLB. It's just a clone army of skinny white dudes with indistinguishable stats.
NFL people are looking at him as a LB.

Shaq Thompson, Myles Jack, Denone Bucannon and Thomas Davis are playing in the NFL which is LB.
I actually like OSU's nomenclature for it, "Walk-Out LB", because it's a guy that plays at the LB level but isn't a box player.
I still think Peppers should be watching tape of Earl Thomas and aiming for that in the NFL. But we'll see how this year turns out. He could end up at a LB position.

I liken him to Thomas Davis LB Carolina
thunder and lighting in a big o' can of whoop-ass
Peppers is quicker and stronger my man. Denard may have him after 30 meters but anywhere before that in any situation, I'm taking Pep. Shuttle drill, backpeddle and straight ahead quicks. Pep gonna give it to ya.
He is not quicker than Denard. No one accelerated faster and got in and out of cuts faster than Denard. Film don't lie.
goof tops.
But none are as quick as Dended .
(It's also likely none have the elite speed of Peppers.)
Yes, a brisk HEADwind.
That is what "into" means here...
Even though it doesn't say I'm assuming it's electronic.
For comparison's sake Denard ran 4.43 at the NFL combine...

Chesson straight line speed is pretty dang fast. "He's got great speed! Jehu Chesson. The opening kickoff! All the way home in the big house!"

Chesson was coasting at that point

Chesson is fast I'll give him that but it isn't apples to apples. He has a longer stride with longer legs and has to cover less ground. Love Chesson but there's no way in hell Chesson has the type of speed that Peppers has. Chesson couldn't replicate any of them Pepper's punt returns. He isn't in the same category of athlete. Peps is a freak yall!
"He has a longer stride with longer legs and has to cover less ground."
WTH does that even mean? When Chesson runs a 40, he only has to cover 35 yds while everyone else is going 40 yds? It doesn't matter one bit how long his legs are - they are both timed in covering 40 yds. Long legs, short legs, Yak legs. Doesn't matter...
