Other top speeds on defense: Malcolm Butler, Patriots (22.07); Johnson Bademosi, Patriots (21.72); Devin McCourty, Patriots (21.66)

Since they are all on defense, that means they were in a trail position trying to catch someone from behind. Good for running fast, not good when playing defense.

Byron Jones is the fastest per this article.

Um... There are, by my count at least, four other players mentioned in that article with faster speeds than Fournette.

Interesting article. It does not really support your title though. It says he reached the fastest top speed on the field on offense, but a couple defensive players were faster. Also, I am sure not all football players get the opportunity to reach their top speed on offense since they do not all hit the open field on 90 yard td runs.

While the technology is cool, the methodology used in this article is flawed.

I don't give a shit what the article says, there is no one in the league faster than Tyreek Hill or Marquese Goodwin. Fournette is very impressive, but I bet there are a handful of guys on his own team that are faster.

Im the fastest Koala in the bedroom.

The fact that this was OT told me it was not a michigan man.
