Usain Bolt new record I guess

[polychronopolous]

not sure he would even need good hands.  Do nothing but hand him the ball 7 times a game and just let him run all over the place.   Even if he ended up getting knocked down 80% of the time... the other 20% of the time, he's going distance.

Or just make him a kickoff returner.   Granted, he's making WAY more as the fastest man in the world than he could trying to make an NFL squad with a 2 years shelf life there.

He earns 20 mil a year right now.

oh for fucks sake.. I bet me, falcon, many others here could have done just that. Had we been the ones enrolled in these elite sport and training programs from early age, spoiled and groomed by all the coaches and scientists to pamper us into world class athletes we be laying down records left and right. This stuff is nothing special, much like politics, only it's entertainment.

He makes more money running than he would as an also ran running back. Between sponsorship and appearance fees he must be on 20-30m plus a year) ($) - plus he wants to break 200m world record again. Why would he play football? He wants to play real football (soccer) for Manchester United if he can, he would give it all up for that.

Someone get Kevin Levrone on the horn. 3 months of training and Kevin could probably beat this guy in a race.
