Justin Gatlin works out with the Bucs

Direckshun · 02:58 PM

Gold medalist and former fastest man in the world, banished Olympian Jason Gatlin's been working out in pads and uniform for the Buccaneers.

How's THAT for a 40 time!

He's banished for 8 years from track and field for doping, and he played football in high school, so I guess right now the Bucs are just seeing what exactly he's capable of.

I'll tell you this right now, that ****er will stretch a field on you.

Anybody else hear about this? It was reported on NFLN.

I suspect one of the reasons he was in track in the first place is that he sucked at other sports.

IF the ****er doesn't have any moves he will just bounce off a defender like a beebe against a brick wall on returns...

According to wikipedia:

However, many sprinters have run faster during the more frequent 100-meter races, including Ben Johnson during his world-record breaking 1988 100 meter dash (which was later annulled due to Johnson's steroid use), when he ran the first 60 meters in 6.33 seconds. [12] Johnson covered the first 40 meters in 4.53 seconds (or 4.66, if his reaction time of 0.13 seconds is included). It is often incorrectly reported that Johnson's first 40 yards was timed in 4.38 seconds. But based on Johnson's verified 40-meter time, his 40-yard running time (not including reaction time) actually was 4.24 seconds. At the 2001 World Championships in Edmonton, Maurice Greene had what is considered to be the fastest start ever. Green covered the first 40 meters in 4.51 seconds running time and matched Johnson's 60-meter time of 6.33 seconds. Despite running into a 0.2 mph headwind and pulling his quadriceps 60 meters into the race, Greene finished the 100 in 9.82 seconds. [13] He covered the first 40 yards of that race in 4.21 seconds, making it the fastest 40-yard dash ever recorded using fully electronic timing.

In track and field races, the runner must react to the starting gun, which can take 0.10 to 0.20 seconds. For electronically timed 40 yard dashes, the runner is allowed to start when he wishes, and a timer hand-starts the clock (after a reaction time of 0.1 to 0.2 seconds). This difference would indicate that, at peak form, Johnson would have been hand timed in 4.04 to 4.14 seconds, making claims of hand-held times in the 4.1-4.2 range more credible.

Trying to be another Robert "Bullet Bob" Hayes, I suppose.

It might work out...it did for Dallas many years ago.

More specific information, this is incredible. It's from a year and a half ago.

Sprinters rarely make it in the NFL....

Renaldo Nehemiah anyone (3 years, 43 catches for 754 yards)?
