Kind of. He's not Hill but nobody is. But he is big and big guys with long strides don't look fast. I will say. After he cut behind that guy that overran the coverage he did get up and across the field in short order. Then he got back into traffic and looked like he basically stopped but he was still trucking forward pretty quick.

That being said, the coverage was pretty horribad. It would have been a far more difficult run with competent coverage. Can't ask for a much better return given the coverage he was dealt but I didn't see anything there that suggests he can make something from nothing like Hill can do.

Here is DJLN saying it better than me.

Fast for tall guys just looks different. It's not that DAT, Hill, Hall sort of quick with churning legs. It's more like, as has been mentioned, Tamarik Vanover. See the seem, hit it hard and fly through it via strides.

I didn't think he looked slow, he just looked like a bigger guy moving.
