Great job on the video! Bob Hayes will always be one of my all time favorite Cowboys players, and I didn't even watch football yet when he played! He changed how teams covered receivers and helped put the Cowboys on the map. So many great players on this list. I loved TD as well, and Kevin Williams was so underrated. Thanks for posting!
What made Kevin Williams “underrated?” I ask because that word is often misused and Mr. Williams stats are available, so any rating could be easily seen. Is there something about him that we can’t see or understand? His total career yards were only 2,314 with 7 TDs.
@josebrown5961 Having a player who can contribute in two phases of the game is highly valuable in the NFL, as most players don't achieve elite numbers and accolades. Just a small percentage of the league's players make the Pro Bowl each year. Team personnel prioritize finding players who bring the most value to the team, rather than those aiming for the Hall of Fame. In the 90s, Williams was one of those valuable players. In 1993, he ranked 7th in both punt return and kick return yards and tied for first in touchdowns. The following year, he was 5th in kickoff return yards, tied for second in punt return touchdowns, and third in kickoff return touchdowns. From 1993 to 1995, he consistently placed in the top 10 for both punt and kick return yards, as well as top 5 for total return touchdowns. Despite starting in 1995 after Harper's departure, he performed well with 613 yards and 2 touchdowns, outpacing Harper's first year starting in 1992. The next year, he struggled due to sharing targets and returns with other players following Jones's decision to utilize Sanders more as a wide receiver along with other players like Herschel Walker and Kelvin Martin. Ultimately, Dallas missed out on signing one of the top special teams returners in the league. Kevin Williams went to Arizona and led the league in return yards. Williams accumulated 5,707 total yards in his four seasons with Dallas, making him one of the highest non-pro bowl non-starter yardage earners in Cowboys history. He also has the most special teams yards in Cowboys history.
Bob Hayes and Herschel walker just raw and natural raw straight line speed. T.D was just a different speed type of guy. Game speed football speed something like that . Dam we have had some world class speedsters!

Definitely right about TD. His acceleration was the difference maker. It's one thing to run through a grouping of defenders already at speed, it's quite another to break out of a group and smoke 'em.
That 2005 Cowboys-Raiders game in Oakland where Newman tracked Moss down from behind (5:34)....I was at that game and Newman blanketed Moss each and every time Moss lined up against him, and each time Moss caught a pass on the other side of the field and got loose, Newman tracked him down and prevented the TD.

You perfectly described "football speed." Agree 100% with how you applied it to Tony D. Appreciate you giving Hayes his due. The man's last leg in the Olympic relays is legend. 100M in 8.6 seconds (calculated) on a track surface not in existence today. Great memories. Tks for another great video. Great work. Keep 'em coming!
If Walker hadn't spent a good part of his career in the USFL he would have been in the HOF for sure, the few years he played with Dallas he was amazing.
@@RobertMcGimpsey He should certainly be in the Ring of Honor for Dallas. They never could have built those Super Bowl teams without him. I also think there are many inferior players that got in the HOF ahead of him.
As usual, great job on the video! Some of these picks could be disputed or argued about but I am glad you kept Bob Hayes at #1 because he really was! I don't think that many people realized how much Hayes changed the game due to his speed. Teams used to run man-to-man coverage and had to develop zone coverages because of Hayes! Plus, thank you for showing the relay race where he ran the fastest time ever on his leg!!
Congratulations 19.3kK The Logical Cowboy almost 20k but to be honest you should have 20 Million your Content is Phenomenal I learned alot more History on our Dallas Cowboys so would alot of other people too The Best Dallas Cowboys UA-cam Channel Go Cowboys 💪💯
Wonderful production!Every great historical narrative, seems to spawn questions and curiosity in the interested yet novice mind. As a professional, you havent lost the insight of what we would find interesting.Having a brilliant command of the facts,is only topped by your wonderfully nuanced delivery!
Tony Dorsett is my all time fav. Their was actually video of Dorsett, Bob Hayes and a couple of other Cowboys in a foot race where Dorsett won - of course Hayes was much older than Dorsett. I think Dorsett should be top 3 with Hayes and Deion Sanders (followed closely by TO and Hershel Walker).
Once again another great video. I always felt and still feel that no running back had quite the acceleration from a stop to full speed like Tony Dorsett. While Barry Sanders had tremendous acceleration, Sanders never quite when from stop to go because his stutter step was beyond the greatest of any running back ever. But Dorsett would basically stop and then turn it on unlike anyone I had ever seen. I believe Herschel Walker should be in the hall of fame, and he would have been if the Vikings had used him like they should after they had acquired him from Dallas. He was always one of my favorite players, even from his days with the Georgia Bulldogs and then the Generals with the USFL, and I did get excited when Dallas drafted him while he was still under contract with the USFL. That once again proved how great Tex Schram, Gil Brandt and Tom Landry was in building a dynamic football team. Had it not been for that move, then Dallas may not have had that dynasty in the 90s. I remember Alexander Wright was the one bright spot when the team was terrible, was a huge fan of Rocket Ismael since his days at Norte Dame, was too young but have watched enough to recognize the importance of Bob Hayes. When a player or coach does something that causes big changes in the way opposing teams do things, then that shows an enormous impact. The fact that the zone defense was created to defend against Hayes because no one was able to defend against him in man to man is just that. And of course prime time was so dominant that quarterbacks were too scared to even throw the football on the side of the field he was on. Dallas used to overload the punt return team on one side of the line as an unbalanced line to force punters to kick to him. They did that in the one Monday Night game at the Meadowlands against the Giants. Sanders might actually be the greatest NFL player of all time. I could make an argument for him against Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor and Jerry Rice because Sanders was a quadruple threat. He was the greatest pass defender in the history of the game, was without a doubt one of the greatest punt returners of all time, was dangerous if returning kickoffs, and he played a little offense too, where he was able to catch passes or run end arounds. If I were a coach back then, I would have lined him up in the backfield as a decoy at times but also to be used to throw screen passes to.
Oh, this was a great video to do. Can't wait. Quick prediction before watching: Bullet Bob, of course, and Rocket Ismail, Tony Dorsett, Hershel Walker, Joey Galloway?... though I wonder about role players such as, yes, number 10 Kevontae Turpin. Yup, I'm about to lock in for some Cowboys trivia that I can marvel the masses with.
Dude. Thanks for being so authentic in your film reviews, TLC. Seriously, this is one of few sources that when hyperbole such as "Top 10" or "Greatest Ever" or "In history" can be trusted to be backed up with thorough research to match the claim.
Great video. I knew how hard this list would be because of the title. The Cowboys have had so many players with world class speed. Coming out of college, Walker was the most freakish athlete of all-time, right there with Bo. Having said that, we all knew who would be at the top. Oh, if Bob Hayes could play in today's game, what could he do.
Bro, this list was hard. In today's game, with all of the science we now know about fast and slow-twitch muscles or anaerobic exercises, Hayes would be very dangerous.
Always wondered what would have been if Walker joined Dallas from his start and had his USFL seasons in the NFL. The all time list may have looked different..........Excellent video as always!.
@dwightlove3704 I read his 40 time was a 4.5. I'm not sure if that was documented or not. Here's the thing a lot of times you've got to be careful with so-called 40 times. Especially for older players. Unless they have a documented time from either their school or the NFL it's hard for me to validate a time.
Great video! Loved it! And I've never been a Cowboys fan! But I remember all of these guys. I watched all of their games and was always awe-struck. As "lights out" as Bob Hayes was, I suspect he would have been even FASTER with better form. I think his arm drive was not as controlled as it could have been, and may have compromised his efficiency as a sprinter.
The Boys had a player named Randal Williams who, if I'm not mistaken, was in that 4.2ish category. Again, if I'm remembering correctly, he scored the quickest TD in NFL history when he returned an onside kick by the Eagles, to start a game...they tried to catch the Cowboys sleeping, and Randal Williams caught them with their pants down instead. I'm not suggesting that he replace anyone on this list, just pointing out that he, and his speed, accounted for a great play in Cowboys history. Thanks for the video, that brought back so many great memories!
I tried to find a flaw in your list but couldnt great research and delivery. Tony Dorsetts game speed was amazing. I like how we always have to compare our Cowboys to rival Darrel Green..Darren McFadden may have been. just outside the top 10 but he wasnt a Cowboy for long..Great content again my man!
Saw him catch Tony from behind his rookie year. 1984 I think. AND Tony a great player and fast but wasn't even always the fastest guy on his own team. CAN'T remember guys name he was a.White receiver in the 80s Nickname white lightning and.he supposed to have beat Tony in a foot race...
I have always loved Tony Dorsett. His game speed was the best ever. Sure he might not have been the fastest in a straight line but he could accelerate in any direction faster than anyone and that is what made him great.
Great video. I remember watching Herschel Walker and thinking how can he be so big and run that fast. I would forget about that when someone tried to tackle Walker and get knocked backwards or just run over. Thanks for the video.
Bob Hayes is said to be the fastest person to every play in the league, not just the Cowboy. He speed rivals Usain Bolt's. I would have loved to see that competion.
Great choices. Bullet Bob Hayes should definitely be #1. Glad somebody remembers "Ace" Wright. If we are talking strictly speed......he has to be on the list. Another guy worth mentioning (if we are just talking speed) is Randal Williams. (Played back in the Parcells era.) Supposedly he ran a sub 4.1 sec 40 yard dash. He is probably best noted for the fastest TD in NFL history (in 2003) to start a game.....just 3 seconds.
He did, however, make the ULTIMATE dagger special teams play against the hated Eagles when he perfectly played their "surprise" opening onside kick and shoved it right back up their A#$. LOL! Just for that play alone, he's a franchise favorite..@@09rja
@@thegorn68 Gawds, that was great. (Don't forget, Andy Reid had pulled off a successful onside kick to open the game the season before against Dallas.) Yup, Randal Williams gets his place alongside other Cowboys Greats like George Teague.
Best Dallas Cowboys UA-cam Channel I've said it many times always The Best History Analysis Breakdowns Mathematics Chronology everything you wanna know about Our Dallas Cowboys Thank You The Logical Cowboy Thank You again Your The Best I Mean The Best Superb Phenomenal
The thing about Tony Dorsett was like you mentioned, he could cut and move his feet while running at top speed. That's just something that can't be taught or coached. The time Darrell Green ran him down that Monday night at Washington in 1983 was the only time I ever saw anyone catch TD when he got in the open. Now he may not have played for the Cowboys but the one guy that had deceptive speed was Eric Dickerson.
@@thelogicalcowboy Dickerson was a HIGH SCHOOL SPRINT CHAMPION he was a 9.4 Class 1A Champion in the 100 yd dash.He is 6-3 and that's why ppl called him deceptive.
plus he ran pretty ............. beautiful style to watch. I grew up watching him at SMU .. He is underrated in Running Back ratings for some reason ........ TD was a pretty runner also....
Thanks for this video! In 1967, I ended up with a football magazine, which inside, featured a photo of Bob Hayes in a wide-open sprint one fine afternoon Neither of his feet were touching the ground. The sun was high in the sky, so his face was shadowed and you couldn't see it. The ball had come from overhead and was inches from his outstretched hands. It's one of the greatest images I've ever seen. (I think they were playing the Cardinals, but I don't know. I can't find the image anywhere). Every night I would go through the magazine, looking at images from all of the players--but I would save Bob's for last, before going to sleep. For the record, I was the World's Fastest Human in my second and third-grade classes, lol.
Great Post! I'll look for that image for you. If I find it I'll let you know. Wow, the fastest kid in the world in third grade? Amazing. Did you make it far as a young adult? Thanks for watching bro!
@icalcowboy Hah! Remember when everyone seemed to envy the fastest kid in 2nd or 3rd grade? All of my glory died in sorrow because I stopped growing in the fourth grade, and I fell to either third or fourth. But I was able to identify with washed-up stars, which made me feel a little better, lol. All I needed was a tragic and then heroic substance-abuse story. But not a lot of fourth-graders are into cocaine and Wild Turkey. Cheers, and Thanks Again for your great work! (EDIT): I think if you run across the image, you'll know it in an instant. It's SO BADASS...I mean, he's a cross between Superman and Zorrow. Pure magic, which is rare in broad daylight. Everything about that photo is beautiful--a little bit of turf coming up behind him, if I remember correctly. Absolute finesse and velocity and excellence and drive... The elegance of a figure skater with the power of a 99-megaton nuclear warhead. Thanks, again!
First time watching your channel.. I was impressed with the way you broke down Tony Dorsett run with the change of speed and direction running style. I grew up watching Cowboys and remember Dorsett very well .... Only someone with pretty good football knowledge could have broken that down like you did ........ Good Job Dude ! If Cowboys dont do it this year, Dak has to go ......
Watching Bob Hayes in the Olympics was very impressive. He ran violently fast for that time. With the shoes of today along with the track and running form adjustments could you imagine his times today?
Great video as Speed Debates are always fun. A few tidbits on several of the guys featured in the video: Rocket Ismail: 2nd in the 1991 NCAA 55 meter dash (just over 60 yards)- 6.19. PR- 6.07 in the 55m dash Alexander Wright: - 1992 (6.14 in 60 yards on grass) & 1993 (6.19 on grass) NFL Fastest Man Winner - 1988 SEC 55m & 200m (indoor) Champion Herschel Walker- - In 1983 he ran 6.10 in the 60 yard dash Indoor Track - Carl Lewis won that race in 6.02
Tony Dorsett's speed was nearly comical, like watching a fast forward highlight film. It was insane once he broke free from tacklers. Opponents had nightmares facing him.
Does anyone besides Duane Thomas know his 40 time , 100 time , etc. He was my favorite Cowboy Running Back...He always seems 2 be lelt out? Have some respect. Led Dallas to 2 Super Bowls in a row. God Bless.
They said he ran a 4.5. But Landry never confirmed it nor did anyone at his school. From what I'm aware of. I might be wrong. From looking at film he looked like he was a 4.4 guy.
Good video! It is a shame that Tavon Austin's NFL career never fully materialized. He was a Cowboy, and his top speed was probably faster than half of your list.
Austin was one of the most explosive players I have ever seen in college. He was remarkable. If he could've just translated that to the pros he definitely would've been a generational talent.
No arguments with that group. The man that impresses me the most is Hershel Walker because of the rare combination of speed AND size. I might think about Walker as #1 for that reason. I wonder about some of the older players that may not have been timed in the 40 because the 100 was more or less the standard. Mel Renfro and Mike Gaechter come to mind. They were sprinters in college and performed for years in the early Doomsday defensive backfield. Thanks for the video!
This was one of the best stories ever you seemed like you did your research in my opinion 40 is just quick speed 200 and the 100 is real speed I like how you evaluated Herschel Walker
I was so glad to see Bullet Bob Hayes as the #1, finally one of these lists gets it absolutely right. Sometimes the legends are forgotten, but not this time l!

Awesome video as usual! I'm not sure what Golden Richards' 40 times were, but he was a track star in high school, etc. As a rookie in 1973, he was the fastest player on the team and played mostly on special teams. He returned a punt 63 yards for a touchdown in the NFCC game. In 1974, he was named the starter at wide receiver over Bob Hayes (Irony, because Richards wore #22 in college because he was a Hayes fan). He was the team's long threat (with receptions of 52, 58, 46 and 43 yards) and had his best statistical year with 26 receptions for 467 yards (18 average) and 5 touchdowns. In his third year, he had 21 receptions for 451 yards (21.5 average) and 4 touchdowns. In 1976, he had 19 receptions for 414 yards (21.8 average) and 3 touchdowns, missing 3 games because of a hamstring injury.
I've read similar post a few times about Golden by other people in the comments. I love Richard's but watching his film I never saw him as a world class speedster. But reading your comment has intrigued me. I was going to make a video on Richards but now I'm going to do a little more research on him. Great post!! Thanks bro!
You're right he didn't. I just added it in because of how popular that play was. Also, Dorsett was in his 7th season and had played in more games than any running back in the league at the point from all of the Superbowl and postseason games. I believe Green was a rookie with fresh legs. Green is not chasing down 77 Dorsett.
@thelogicalcowboy yeah I'm pretty sure Green would've caught Dorsett in 77 as well. I say that because nobody seems to be aware that Dorsett was caught from behind twice before Green did it. Both times were in 1978 when Dorsett was at his fastest. A guy named Clarence Chapman of the New Orleans Saints caught him in a regular season game and then a guy named Rod Perry of the Los Angeles Rams caught him in the NFC Championship game. Neither of those players were world class sprinters. Darrel Green was. Not trying to diminish Dorsett's ability, I consider him the most exciting back of all time. But as far as his top end speed, lets keep it real.
I love your channel for reminiscing. These days, It wouldn’t break my heart to see Jones give up the ghost without ever winning another Super Bowl. That’s for throwing Jimmy under the bus, saying he could win with any coach. Well, Switzer WAS any coach and he couldn’t have done it without Jimmy’s team
2 things about Deion that was unique. I often noticed how Deion would get an interception and make it a point to let EVERYBODY know he had the ball by raising it up so everybody on the field and in the stands would know . Now this is the MOST overlooked remarkable thing that Deion did on a routine basis that I always though was remarkable and set him apart for all the other players I ever seen. Deion would often start high stepping 30 40 and 50 yards out with players on his azz right BY him running their guts out trying to catch him which I thought was insane! He was definitely must see tv and in my top 5 players to watch of all time.😀
Awesome video my friend . I decently would probably put Bob Hayse at #1 just because he changed the way the defense play their defenses to a zone defense
I would agree with your rankings. Nobody beats the fastest human on earth, Bullet Bob Hayes, although Tony Dorsett is one of my personal favorites. I think your rankings are fair Thx
Great product (yet again)! Not certain how close Deon & Herschel would be, as they both would keep it TIGHT, as I was not alive to watch & marvel at Bob Hayes & the way he played, as I do recall how freakin fast Joey Galloway was and those alone two jetting down the field would be a true spectacle for anyone to watch & enjoy. Joey does not even look like he is (was) exerting himself as if running that fast requires so little effort from him. So the technician in Herschel’s approach with his “Adonis” physique & Deon’s smooth glide would be such a treat, but I don’t honestly believe they would beat Joey & certainly not Bob Hayes. Many thanks.
I agree. I hear that the voters held it against Hayes when he placed his hands in his pockets during the Ice Bowl. Let some of them get out there and play in those temperatures.
@icalcowboy The early 70's were a lottery of speed. Mel Gray, Cliff Branch, Gerald Tinker, Isaac Curtis. A couple of years later, Curtis Dickey, Roger Carr,. Also O.J. (he was part of a world record relay team as was Earl McCullough). 50 or so years later, their speed still stands up.
Dude you did a great job well done well researched You know I was always thinking Bob Hayes from the GetGo d ion number so you validated my thinking I forgot about Alexander right and a couple of those other guys like Turpin etc but nobody talked the game and then delivered like deion Sanders Bob Hayes was a quiet guy who came out and just rolled it he sacrificed his legs for the team on torn up hamstrings he would shoot up the cortisone and get out there and that ruined his legs but you know that's football I guess if you're going to be a track guy run football you got to be able to take the pain That's why most track people don't make in football because you got to be tough and take that pain most track guys are softies they'll say I got a little Nick I got a little pinch and then they sit down football players man if you ain't bleeding a pint an hour you ain't hurt any nothing get out there and play boy that's football was Bob Hayes tough tough SOB

You perfectly described "football speed." Agree 100% with how you applied it to Tony D. Appreciate you giving Hayes his due. The man's last leg in the Olympic relays is legend. 100M in 8.6 seconds (calculated) on a track surface not in existence today. Great memories. Tks for another great video. Great work. Keep 'em coming!
Appreciate you bro!
This is one of my favorite UA-cam videos “EVER!” Thanks for putting it together. Very informative
Thanks for watching!
Another great video. I definitely agree with this list. Thanks and keep them coming
Thanks bro!
Great breakdown!!!
Enjoyed the upload ... Very exciting to watch these Dallas Cowboys Stars Blaze Speed down the line. This video is electric ⚡💫 "Go Cowboys" ⭐
Thanks bro!!
If Walker hadn't spent a good part of his career in the USFL he would have been in the HOF for sure, the few years he played with Dallas he was amazing.
I agree
He still should be in the HOF. He has the numbers
Fun fact, Herschell Walker retired as the NFLs all time combined yardage leader(since broken).
Herschel should be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame....he played 15 years of running back in Pro Football ( USFL/NFL)!!
@@RobertMcGimpsey He should certainly be in the Ring of Honor for Dallas. They never could have built those Super Bowl teams without him. I also think there are many inferior players that got in the HOF ahead of him.
As usual, great job on the video! Some of these picks could be disputed or argued about but I am glad you kept Bob Hayes at #1 because he really was! I don't think that many people realized how much Hayes changed the game due to his speed. Teams used to run man-to-man coverage and had to develop zone coverages because of Hayes! Plus, thank you for showing the relay race where he ran the fastest time ever on his leg!!
Congratulations 19.3kK The Logical Cowboy almost 20k but to be honest you should have 20 Million your Content is Phenomenal I learned alot more History on our Dallas Cowboys so would alot of other people too The Best Dallas Cowboys UA-cam Channel Go Cowboys 💪💯

Bullet Bob....my favorite nickname 😊😊
Great show!
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful production!Every great historical narrative, seems to spawn questions and curiosity in the interested yet novice mind. As a professional, you havent lost the insight of what we would find interesting.Having a brilliant command of the facts,is only topped by your wonderfully nuanced delivery!
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
Tony Dorsett is my all time fav. Their was actually video of Dorsett, Bob Hayes and a couple of other Cowboys in a foot race where Dorsett won - of course Hayes was much older than Dorsett. I think Dorsett should be top 3 with Hayes and Deion Sanders (followed closely by TO and Hershel Walker).
I understand! Dorsett was special.
Once again another great video. I always felt and still feel that no running back had quite the acceleration from a stop to full speed like Tony Dorsett. While Barry Sanders had tremendous acceleration, Sanders never quite when from stop to go because his stutter step was beyond the greatest of any running back ever. But Dorsett would basically stop and then turn it on unlike anyone I had ever seen. I believe Herschel Walker should be in the hall of fame, and he would have been if the Vikings had used him like they should after they had acquired him from Dallas. He was always one of my favorite players, even from his days with the Georgia Bulldogs and then the Generals with the USFL, and I did get excited when Dallas drafted him while he was still under contract with the USFL. That once again proved how great Tex Schram, Gil Brandt and Tom Landry was in building a dynamic football team. Had it not been for that move, then Dallas may not have had that dynasty in the 90s. I remember Alexander Wright was the one bright spot when the team was terrible, was a huge fan of Rocket Ismael since his days at Norte Dame, was too young but have watched enough to recognize the importance of Bob Hayes. When a player or coach does something that causes big changes in the way opposing teams do things, then that shows an enormous impact. The fact that the zone defense was created to defend against Hayes because no one was able to defend against him in man to man is just that. And of course prime time was so dominant that quarterbacks were too scared to even throw the football on the side of the field he was on. Dallas used to overload the punt return team on one side of the line as an unbalanced line to force punters to kick to him. They did that in the one Monday Night game at the Meadowlands against the Giants. Sanders might actually be the greatest NFL player of all time. I could make an argument for him against Jim Brown, Lawrence Taylor and Jerry Rice because Sanders was a quadruple threat. He was the greatest pass defender in the history of the game, was without a doubt one of the greatest punt returners of all time, was dangerous if returning kickoffs, and he played a little offense too, where he was able to catch passes or run end arounds. If I were a coach back then, I would have lined him up in the backfield as a decoy at times but also to be used to throw screen passes to.
🔥 🔥 Great Post!
Glad to see someone who has done their research and produced an awesome video, Great job!!
Appreciate the compliment bro!
Oh, this was a great video to do. Can't wait. Quick prediction before watching:
Bullet Bob, of course, and Rocket Ismail, Tony Dorsett, Hershel Walker, Joey Galloway?... though I wonder about role players such as, yes, number 10 Kevontae Turpin.
Yup, I'm about to lock in for some Cowboys trivia that I can marvel the masses with.
Dude. Thanks for being so authentic in your film reviews, TLC. Seriously, this is one of few sources that when hyperbole such as "Top 10" or "Greatest Ever" or "In history" can be trusted to be backed up with thorough research to match the claim.
Appreciate that compliment bro!!
Great video. I knew how hard this list would be because of the title. The Cowboys have had so many players with world class speed. Coming out of college, Walker was the most freakish athlete of all-time, right there with Bo. Having said that, we all knew who would be at the top. Oh, if Bob Hayes could play in today's game, what could he do.
Bro, this list was hard. In today's game, with all of the science we now know about fast and slow-twitch muscles or anaerobic exercises, Hayes would be very dangerous.
Hayes was in the era of the track speedsters but he had good hands compared to Homer Jones and Earl mccullough
Always wondered what would have been if Walker joined Dallas from his start and had his USFL seasons in the NFL. The all time list may have looked different..........Excellent video as always!.
Love your videos. Keep up the great work. My Cowboy lifetime history.
Lol appreciate you bro!
@@thelogicalcowboy What about Duane Thomas he was no slouch in the speed department.
@dwightlove3704
I read his 40 time was a 4.5. I'm not sure if that was documented or not. Here's the thing a lot of times you've got to be careful with so-called 40 times. Especially for older players. Unless they have a documented time from either their school or the NFL it's hard for me to validate a time.
Love your videos! Keep 'em coming
Thanks bro
Great video! Loved it! And I've never been a Cowboys fan! But I remember all of these guys. I watched all of their games and was always awe-struck. As "lights out" as Bob Hayes was, I suspect he would have been even FASTER with better form. I think his arm drive was not as controlled as it could have been, and may have compromised his efficiency as a sprinter.
Love these videos! Great Content!
Thanks bro!
The Boys had a player named Randal Williams who, if I'm not mistaken, was in that 4.2ish category. Again, if I'm remembering correctly, he scored the quickest TD in NFL history when he returned an onside kick by the Eagles, to start a game...they tried to catch the Cowboys sleeping, and Randal Williams caught them with their pants down instead. I'm not suggesting that he replace anyone on this list, just pointing out that he, and his speed, accounted for a great play in Cowboys history. Thanks for the video, that brought back so many great memories!
Great video! Thanks
Appreciate you bro!
I tried to find a flaw in your list but couldnt great research and delivery. Tony Dorsetts game speed was amazing. I like how we always have to compare our Cowboys to rival Darrel Green..Darren McFadden may have been. just outside the top 10 but he wasnt a Cowboy for long..Great content again my man!
Green was a legend! Just on enemies side lol. But yeah McFadden was fast. Thanks bro.
Saw him catch Tony from behind his rookie year. 1984 I think. AND Tony a great player and fast but wasn't even always the fastest guy on his own team. CAN'T remember guys name he was a.White receiver in the 80s Nickname white lightning and.he supposed to have beat Tony in a foot race...
I have always loved Tony Dorsett. His game speed was the best ever. Sure he might not have been the fastest in a straight line but he could accelerate in any direction faster than anyone and that is what made him great.
@@josebrown5961
Well said
@@josebrown5961 Me too when I was 9 I wrote to him in 1985 he replied with an autograph photo during the season. Class act.
Great video. I remember watching Herschel Walker and thinking how can he be so big and run that fast. I would forget about that when someone tried to tackle Walker and get knocked backwards or just run over. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Impressive. Never knew Walker beat Green b4. Cowboys have had there share of speedsters.
Bob Hayes is said to be the fastest person to every play in the league, not just the Cowboy. He speed rivals Usain Bolt's. I would have loved to see that competion.
Great choices. Bullet Bob Hayes should definitely be #1. Glad somebody remembers "Ace" Wright. If we are talking strictly speed......he has to be on the list.
Another guy worth mentioning (if we are just talking speed) is Randal Williams. (Played back in the Parcells era.) Supposedly he ran a sub 4.1 sec 40 yard dash. He is probably best noted for the fastest TD in NFL history (in 2003) to start a game.....just 3 seconds.
Totally forgot about him!
@@thelogicalcowboy He didn't do much to remember......but he was fast.
He did, however, make the ULTIMATE dagger special teams play against the hated Eagles when he perfectly played their "surprise" opening onside kick and shoved it right back up their A#$. LOL! Just for that play alone, he's a franchise favorite..@@09rja
but forgot about white lightning - Golden Richards
@@thegorn68 Gawds, that was great. (Don't forget, Andy Reid had pulled off a successful onside kick to open the game the season before against Dallas.)
Yup, Randal Williams gets his place alongside other Cowboys Greats like George Teague.
Without doubt, I certainly agree, great list of athletes.
Best Dallas Cowboys UA-cam Channel I've said it many times always The Best History Analysis Breakdowns Mathematics Chronology everything you wanna know about Our Dallas Cowboys Thank You The Logical Cowboy Thank You again Your The Best I Mean The Best Superb Phenomenal
Thanks bro! 😊
The thing about Tony Dorsett was like you mentioned, he could cut and move his feet while running at top speed. That's just something that can't be taught or coached. The time Darrell Green ran him down that Monday night at Washington in 1983 was the only time I ever saw anyone catch TD when he got in the open. Now he may not have played for the Cowboys but the one guy that had deceptive speed was Eric Dickerson.
Good post! Dickerson is another legend that people don't talk about like they should.
@@thelogicalcowboy Dickerson was a HIGH SCHOOL SPRINT CHAMPION he was a 9.4 Class 1A Champion in the 100 yd dash.He is 6-3 and that's why ppl called him deceptive.
@@thelogicalcowboy As you know about Green being a called The MX MISSILE in DC.
plus he ran pretty ............. beautiful style to watch. I grew up watching him at SMU ..
He is underrated in Running Back ratings for some reason ........ TD was a pretty runner also....
Thanks for posting this!
Man I remember having a Bob Hayes football card as a kid . It was a top feeling brotha
Wow! If you kept that card it probably would be a tune of money today.
Bob Hayes was the fastest without comparison! He made defenses change! He won 2 Gold medals in the Olympics!! HOF player.
Thanks for this video!
In 1967, I ended up with a football magazine, which inside, featured a photo of Bob Hayes in a wide-open sprint one fine afternoon Neither of his feet were touching the ground. The sun was high in the sky, so his face was shadowed and you couldn't see it. The ball had come from overhead and was inches from his outstretched hands.
It's one of the greatest images I've ever seen. (I think they were playing the Cardinals, but I don't know. I can't find the image anywhere).
Every night I would go through the magazine, looking at images from all of the players--but I would save Bob's for last, before going to sleep.
For the record, I was the World's Fastest Human in my second and third-grade classes, lol.
Great Post! I'll look for that image for you. If I find it I'll let you know. Wow, the fastest kid in the world in third grade? Amazing. Did you make it far as a young adult? Thanks for watching bro!
@icalcowboy Hah! Remember when everyone seemed to envy the fastest kid in 2nd or 3rd grade?
All of my glory died in sorrow because I stopped growing in the fourth grade, and I fell to either third or fourth.
But I was able to identify with washed-up stars, which made me feel a little better, lol.
All I needed was a tragic and then heroic substance-abuse story. But not a lot of fourth-graders are into cocaine and Wild Turkey.
Cheers, and Thanks Again for your great work!
(EDIT): I think if you run across the image, you'll know it in an instant.
It's SO BADASS...I mean, he's a cross between Superman and Zorrow. Pure magic, which is rare in broad daylight.
Everything about that photo is beautiful--a little bit of turf coming up behind him, if I remember correctly. Absolute finesse and velocity and excellence and drive...
The elegance of a figure skater with the power of a 99-megaton nuclear warhead.
Thanks, again!
@@meridethtohayes
Thanks for responding bro!!! Good post yourself. 😂
Great post very well done!
Thanks bro!!
First time watching your channel.. I was impressed with the way you broke down Tony Dorsett run with the change of speed and direction running style. I grew up watching Cowboys and remember Dorsett very well .... Only someone with pretty good football knowledge could have broken that down like you did ........ Good Job Dude ! If Cowboys dont do it this year, Dak has to go ......
Sorry to report that former cowboys speedster WR Golden Richards has just passed away.
Thank u for this. This is 🔥
Thanks bro!!
Fantastic 💯
Dorsett ran a 4.3 at 34 years of age in Denver. That's craaaaazy. To this day, I've never seen anyone with that kind of 1st to 5th gear acceleration.
Excellent video.
I just want to note when Deion was driving that little cart it was here in Austin Tx back when they used to practice here, Great times
My boy had the AC in there! Question- did you ever attend those camps? What was is it like if you did?
Watching Bob Hayes in the Olympics was very impressive. He ran violently fast for that time. With the shoes of today along with the track and running form adjustments could you imagine his times today?
Great video as Speed Debates are always fun.
A few tidbits on several of the guys featured in the video:
Rocket Ismail: 2nd in the 1991 NCAA 55 meter dash (just over 60 yards)- 6.19. PR- 6.07 in the 55m dash
Alexander Wright:
- 1992 (6.14 in 60 yards on grass) & 1993 (6.19 on grass) NFL Fastest Man Winner
- 1988 SEC 55m & 200m (indoor) Champion
Herschel Walker-
- In 1983 he ran 6.10 in the 60 yard dash Indoor Track
- Carl Lewis won that race in 6.02
Great video!
Wow what a tremendous video. Speed does kill. I'm dying 😊
It really does! Thank you sir!
The Logical Cowboy this was very entertaining, and I agree 💯 percent!👊😎
Totally agree! Great vid! Thx!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
I agree I have his throwback Original 22!! Jersey.
Calling Tony Dorsett slow is understatement of the year! 😊😊😊😂😂😂
Excellent Video... Agree with your selections. The Bullet Bob Hayes wow!
The goat speedsters.
Tony Dorsett I watched him play for Dallas with Roger Staubach as Quarterback at the helm phenomenal running back hands down. Aloha!!!!
Tony Dorsett's speed was nearly comical, like watching a fast forward highlight film. It was insane once he broke free from tacklers. Opponents had nightmares facing him.
Does anyone besides Duane Thomas know his 40 time , 100 time , etc. He was my favorite Cowboy Running Back...He always seems 2 be lelt out? Have some respect. Led Dallas to 2 Super Bowls in a row. God Bless.
They said he ran a 4.5. But Landry never confirmed it nor did anyone at his school. From what I'm aware of. I might be wrong. From looking at film he looked like he was a 4.4 guy.
Love hearing about the boys.
I love doing the research. Thanks for watching!!
I’ve watched them all but knew Bob Hayes personally as I worked with him he was a fine human being plus he the fastest sucker I’ve seen play the game.
Good video! It is a shame that Tavon Austin's NFL career never fully materialized. He was a Cowboy, and his top speed was probably faster than half of your list.
Austin was one of the most explosive players I have ever seen in college. He was remarkable. If he could've just translated that to the pros he definitely would've been a generational talent.
Great list, Very accurate
Appreciate you bro!
No arguments with that group. The man that impresses me the most is Hershel Walker because of the rare combination of speed AND size. I might think about Walker as #1 for that reason. I wonder about some of the older players that may not have been timed in the 40 because the 100 was more or less the standard. Mel Renfro and Mike Gaechter come to mind. They were sprinters in college and performed for years in the early Doomsday defensive backfield. Thanks for the video!
Good post. If you're talking mass and speed there's definitely an argument to put Walker number one.
Bob Hayes had hands. WTF?? How does a track man have hands and routes? Multi-talented!
Can't believe that Tony Romo never got a mention...
😂 😂 I see what you did there.
How about Troy Aikman?
Everybody is right where they should be. Great list!
Thanks bro!
This was one of the best stories ever you seemed like you did your research in my opinion 40 is just quick speed 200 and the 100 is real speed I like how you evaluated Herschel Walker
Appreciate you bro
Brah great job 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks bro!!
I was so glad to see Bullet Bob Hayes as the #1, finally one of these lists gets it absolutely right.
Sometimes the legends are forgotten, but not this time l!
great video
Thank you sir!
Tony Dorsett ran through traffic changing directions faster than I could change my clothes. Incredible. Aloha!!!

My all time favorite Dallas Cowboy. Bullet Bob Hayes. Hell yeah I agree with you
Great job my man ! 😀
🏈🌟📺👓
EXCELLENT VIDEO
FANTASTIC 👏👏👏
Awesome video as usual! I'm not sure what Golden Richards' 40 times were, but he was a track star in high school, etc. As a rookie in 1973, he was the fastest player on the team and played mostly on special teams. He returned a punt 63 yards for a touchdown in the NFCC game. In 1974, he was named the starter at wide receiver over Bob Hayes (Irony, because Richards wore #22 in college because he was a Hayes fan). He was the team's long threat (with receptions of 52, 58, 46 and 43 yards) and had his best statistical year with 26 receptions for 467 yards (18 average) and 5 touchdowns. In his third year, he had 21 receptions for 451 yards (21.5 average) and 4 touchdowns. In 1976, he had 19 receptions for 414 yards (21.8 average) and 3 touchdowns, missing 3 games because of a hamstring injury.
I've read similar post a few times about Golden by other people in the comments. I love Richard's but watching his film I never saw him as a world class speedster. But reading your comment has intrigued me. I was going to make a video on Richards but now I'm going to do a little more research on him. Great post!! Thanks bro!
Just read today about Golden Richards' passing. RIP to a great speedster and underappreciated Cowboy.
WHen Doug Donelly and Dorsett's careers overlapped I believe Donelly had more straight-ahead speed.
One other thing Bob Hayes ran 10.0 seconds in the 1964 Olympics on cinder tracks surface .
Darrel Green started running down field when Dorset was running laterally towards the sidelines. He didn't catch him in a straight line run.
You're right he didn't. I just added it in because of how popular that play was. Also, Dorsett was in his 7th season and had played in more games than any running back in the league at the point from all of the Superbowl and postseason games. I believe Green was a rookie with fresh legs. Green is not chasing down 77 Dorsett.
@thelogicalcowboy yeah I'm pretty sure Green would've caught Dorsett in 77 as well. I say that because nobody seems to be aware that Dorsett was caught from behind twice before Green did it. Both times were in 1978 when Dorsett was at his fastest. A guy named Clarence Chapman of the New Orleans Saints caught him in a regular season game and then a guy named Rod Perry of the Los Angeles Rams caught him in the NFC Championship game. Neither of those players were world class sprinters. Darrel Green was. Not trying to diminish Dorsett's ability, I consider him the most exciting back of all time. But as far as his top end speed, lets keep it real.
Darrel Green always attributed his speed to tootsie rolls..he kept them in his sock during the game..the only Redskin I actually liked and respected.
@@fabiancardenas6970
Good point
Facts!!!!
I love your channel for reminiscing. These days, It wouldn’t break my heart to see Jones give up the ghost without ever winning another Super Bowl. That’s for throwing Jimmy under the bus, saying he could win with any coach. Well, Switzer WAS any coach and he couldn’t have done it without Jimmy’s team
Well said!! Thanks for watching bro!
Miss You Bob Hayes, (Bullet Bob) He was my childhood idol
Bob Hayes won the Gold on a track,and with shoes that would make today's sprinters want to cry
2 things about Deion that was unique. I often noticed how Deion would get an interception and make it a point to let EVERYBODY know he had the ball by raising it up so everybody on the field and in the stands would know . Now this is the MOST overlooked remarkable thing that Deion did on a routine basis that I always though was remarkable and set him apart for all the other players I ever seen. Deion would often start high stepping 30 40 and 50 yards out with players on his azz right BY him running their guts out trying to catch him which I thought was insane! He was definitely must see tv and in my top 5 players to watch of all time.😀
Awesome video my friend . I decently would probably put Bob Hayse at #1 just because he changed the way the defense play their defenses to a zone defense
Yeah, he was special! By the way, anyone who is reading this if you like music go check out Longhorn.Rock_Roll61 channel. It's dope.
@thelogicalcowboy thanks my friend your videos rule !
Awesome bro!!!!
I would agree with your rankings. Nobody beats the fastest human on earth, Bullet Bob Hayes, although Tony Dorsett is one of my personal favorites. I think your rankings are fair
Thx
Thanks bro!
Great product (yet again)! Not certain how close Deon & Herschel would be, as they both would keep it TIGHT, as I was not alive to watch & marvel at Bob Hayes & the way he played, as I do recall how freakin fast Joey Galloway was and those alone two jetting down the field would be a true spectacle for anyone to watch & enjoy. Joey does not even look like he is (was) exerting himself as if running that fast requires so little effort from him. So the technician in Herschel’s approach with his “Adonis” physique & Deon’s smooth glide would be such a treat, but I don’t honestly believe they would beat Joey & certainly not Bob Hayes. Many thanks.
Yeah, that would be a treat to watch! Thanks bro! Good post.
Bullet Bob Hayes should have been in the Hall of Fame right after he retired.
I agree. I hear that the voters held it against Hayes when he placed his hands in his pockets during the Ice Bowl. Let some of them get out there and play in those temperatures.
Great, accurate list. Well done.
Thanks bro!
@icalcowboy The early 70's were a lottery of speed. Mel Gray, Cliff Branch, Gerald Tinker, Isaac Curtis. A couple of years later, Curtis Dickey, Roger Carr,. Also O.J. (he was part of a world record relay team as was Earl McCullough). 50 or so years later, their speed still stands up.
@@drobson8004
Wow!
Dude you did a great job well done well researched You know I was always thinking Bob Hayes from the GetGo d ion number so you validated my thinking I forgot about Alexander right and a couple of those other guys like Turpin etc but nobody talked the game and then delivered like deion Sanders Bob Hayes was a quiet guy who came out and just rolled it he sacrificed his legs for the team on torn up hamstrings he would shoot up the cortisone and get out there and that ruined his legs but you know that's football I guess if you're going to be a track guy run football you got to be able to take the pain That's why most track people don't make in football because you got to be tough and take that pain most track guys are softies they'll say I got a little Nick I got a little pinch and then they sit down football players man if you ain't bleeding a pint an hour you ain't hurt any nothing get out there and play boy that's football was Bob Hayes tough tough SOB
