@@UnderwaterAlexJonesAmateur means you don't get paid. Jeff got paid to run. I knew a guy way slower than Jeff & made 5K per track meet. Track sprinters are paid decently well.
He did. He skipped the 2012 combine and draft to prepare for the 2012 Olympics in track. Afterwards, he played briefly with both the Pats and Colts before he was let go.
There was an athlete who played football at HillHouse High School in New Haven Ct named Terrell Wilkes and he ran track as well and went to Florida with them will demps and them boas, stupid stupid fast
Respectfully, most football fans are unaware of two facts. 1st fact, Jeff Demps is the 3rd fastest football player in NFL history & football history. 2nd fact, he is, in fact, the fastest RB in NFL or any level in history. No one talks about these facts at all. Fastest men in NFL history (100 meter sprint) : 1. Jim Hines 9.95 2. Trendon Holliday 10.00 (twice) 3. Jeff Demps 10.01 4. Jacoby Ford 10.01 5. Bob Hayes 10.06 And some serious perspective: 22. Tyreek Hill 10.19 Not even in the top 100 fastest men ever in NFL history: Chris Johnson & John Ross ran the same exact legal 100 meter time 10.66 Xavier Worthy 10.65 That's how fast Jeff Demps was. The NFL combines 40 yard dash is inaccurate bc it's semiautomatic timed. There is no way the last 3 men I mentioned with their inaccurate 40 yard dashes can come close to Demps world class speed. Track runners in HS will blow out Xavier, Chris & John. The NFL combines 40 yard dash had Holliday at 4.31 & Demps at 4.34. Lmfao. This is laughable. Anyway, those are the facts.
The 40 is about raw power and explosive strength. Football players train for that by doing heavy Squats and power cleans and dead lifts. Stride Length and frequency is the key. Trindon Holiday takes too many steps in his 40 yards. If Holiday was powerful enough to take one step off he could go 4.00 or lower in the 40. Christian Coleman is one of the greatest starters in track history. He ran a 4.12 in the 40 while at UT. However, he gets walked down after 60 m and have to hold on for dear life to win the 100 m. On the flip side, Noah Lyles is probably running closer to a 4.34 forty but walks everyone down at 60 m. So a 4.2 forty does not have to translate to a 10.00 100 m. Track athletes train to hit max velocity between 40 m and 60 m, then maintain that speed from 60 to 80 m before decelerating the last 20 m. Its all about technique and paying attention to detail. With the focus on specific training for each discipline.
@@G-Forceverifiedspeed40-yard dash is inaccurate, and you don't need to tell me about speed. I understand it very well. I ran track & played football. The 40 yard dash is inaccurate & doesn't measure true speed or acceleration accurately. I also coach football players & track sprinters how to run faster. Jeff Demps is way faster than Xavier Worthy in the 40 yard dash as he is in the 5 yard dash.
@@biggalaxy9102 I'm a track and coach as well. And have timed both track athletes, football players and those that do both. I did both in college so I speak from experience. The 40 yard dash is not a track event. It's a football event. It's timing method is different. Not F.A.T. fully automatic. Clock starts on the athletes movement. That eliminates reaction time. It is possible for a football player to run a way faster 40 than a sprinter that has a faster 100m time. I did number 1. Number 2 Speed does not extrapolate to every measure of distance. A world record in the 60m doesn't mean a world record in the 100m. It doesn't even mean a sub 10 100m. Ask Christian Coleman and Su Bingtian. We need to stop pushing this narrative. The 40 is the 40 and his nothing to do with 100 meters. Just like the 60m has nothing to do with the 100m or 200m. A different energy system and maximum velocity mechanics is required to run past 40 yards. Football Players don't normally train for that. As an athlete that did both. I would whoop all of the track guys for 30 to 40 meters. Then they would pass me up and pull ahead. In college I figured out. The 40 is not the same as anything pass 40.
I always wondered why Jeff wasn’t a true star in the Ngl i mean he had the talent and speed wasn’t a question but never know it’s always more to the story
Makes no sense to me that an NFL coach wouldn't use his speed the way he should have been used. Jeff though is in fact the fastest RB in NFL history with his 10.01 & is the 3rd fastest ever with that time behind Trendon Holliday 10.00 twice & Jim Hines 9.95.
With this guy being so fast I'm starting to wonder if the average football player is kinda slow. Hear me out. I ran a 12 second 100 M dash. He runs a 10 second 100 M. I was average fast. He's fast fast. Usain Bolt fastest 100 M is 9. Something. That means almost any Olympic Sprinter would do this in the NFL.
Yeah but most of them aren’t built to play football… one hit from a lb or safety and that ball is flying loose… also most aren’t gonna be as shifty and have the ball carrier vision as Jeff demps, he was truly something.
@@TheKingandTheDawgthat's why I think flag football is so interesting. It attracts players with different builds and often higher speed. Players that couldn't normally play NFL football. I'm excited for its debut in the summer Olympics.
I am amazed people dunno about the speed demon 10.02 100 and 4.24 forty played for few pro teams and still competes at a high level in track to this day what hurt him is he’s only 5ft 7 not built for a every down back in the NFL football was a lot more physical in the 90’s
Jeff is the fastest RB in NFL history with a 10.01 & 3rd overall. Barry Sanders was 5'7". Height wasn't the problem. It was the ignorance of NFL coaches. How do you ignore the fact that Jeff is that fast & never use him. Of I was a coach I would have used him the way Rocket Ismail was used at Notre Dame. Just bone head coaches in the NFL.
I’ve never seen a man put up so many 50-60+ yard touchdowns and outrun EVERYONE on he field at all times . This man is flash
Track speed and football speed, two different speeds 😂. If you fast on the track your fast af on the field
Devin Hester
@@AverageMOEgym besides Hester lol. Hester was just different. Another animal
The way this guy runs, reminds me of Bo Jackson.
@@AverageMOEgymthis guy was quicker than hester
This man was an absolute beast as a UGA fan I couldn’t stop watching him Percy Harvin and Chris Rainy they were amazing to watch 💯💯💯💯
I never heard of him until now but DAMN brah can runrun. 😢
WOW.. Just WOW.. never even heard of this guy and the highlights show him to be a amazing player for the old gators team!! keep it up great content..
Woow how have I never heard of this guy??🤯 fastest football player I’ve ever seen in my entire life this speed is unmatched🔥🔥 what a player!
because he chose the amateur olympic life over the league.
@@UnderwaterAlexJonesAmateur means you don't get paid. Jeff got paid to run. I knew a guy way slower than Jeff & made 5K per track meet. Track sprinters are paid decently well.
@@biggalaxy9102Not NFL money though. He could have been what Devon Achane is to Miami
NCAA Football 07 and 08 online with them was great times man
This is nostalgic 😢 this Florida team had SPEED 13-1
The good ol days for me 😂👴🏿🐊🐊🐊
Seen him live when I played at Eustis hs he was at southlake never seen a faster human in person even our coaches were amazed!!
South lake high schools finest! Groveland Fl baby! Loved watching Jeff break a 50-80 yarder literally every game in high school
He played for south lake?!?
@@teamyeshuathemessiah1058 yep, class of 08’! I graduated with him
I never understood why he didn’t go to the NFL
Track athletes are weird like that. Most of them have this weird love for track over football.
He did. He skipped the 2012 combine and draft to prepare for the 2012 Olympics in track. Afterwards, he played briefly with both the Pats and Colts before he was let go.
He did go - he played for 3 teams 📌
There was an athlete who played football at HillHouse High School in New Haven Ct named Terrell Wilkes and he ran track as well and went to Florida with them will demps and them boas, stupid stupid fast
@@sshawnbr3. Athlete. Not just a football player. Big difference!
“World-class speed” literally. Not even just world-class football speed. World-class speed, speed. This is just nuts to see.
Lol idiots world class speed
Why does this make me feel good in my head?
5:37 QB signalling TD before he's even got to the line of scrimmage
He was so fun to watch

Not all fast football players run track!
But yeah Jeff Demps was fast in track as well.
He was unstoppable in the original madden 25
I always wondered why Jeff wasn’t a true star in the Ngl i mean he had the talent and speed wasn’t a question but never know it’s always more to the story
This man is Tyreek hill without a HOF coach turning him into a real football player
He faster then tyreek
Jeffrey Demps is fast. But so is the ball boy at 3:03.
Sorry ball boy no equipment
similar to raheem morris & achane in MIA
2:17 was nasty how he made the Tennessee players run into each other. 😮
What years did he play , and what happened to him ?
He played from 2008-2011. Decided to pursue a career in track and field. He did play in the NFL for a couple of years but mostly focused on track.
Amazing - wonder why his NFL career never took off
Makes no sense to me that an NFL coach wouldn't use his speed the way he should have been used. Jeff though is in fact the fastest RB in NFL history with his 10.01 & is the 3rd fastest ever with that time behind Trendon Holliday 10.00 twice & Jim Hines 9.95.
2:51 watch the dude on the sideline, he got some wheels 😮
Track speed different.
A literal cheat code wow 🔥
Was he a 4.16 guy
The Archetype for today’s slot receivers and runningbacks
When u are able to sprint and hold endurance...your very dangerous
Jeff "Daylight = 6" Demps
Something that I heard a running back say that stuck with me for years is
"Im nothing without my offensive lineman"
Its like of Tyreek was a RB, but faster
DBs are sweating
How about Chris Rainey? 🤔
chris rainey had gotten draffted by the steelers than let go
I was really hoping he woud have worked out when he was a Patriot.

@TheKingCavanaugh true. But let's be honest most sprinters got some toughness to them.
@@TheKingandTheDawgthat's why I think flag football is so interesting. It attracts players with different builds and often higher speed. Players that couldn't normally play NFL football. I'm excited for its debut in the summer Olympics.
12 secs not fast at all.
It's slow, you wouldn't win anything with 12 secs except 5th grade.
@fitlifestylebiggainz while not Olympic speed a 12 second 100M is probably faster than the average human being. So by that standard it's pretty fast.
Sheesh ❗️
No doubt this guy is a freak, but #31 for Miami Oh, I think I'm faster than that guy
Devon achane’s father
Mama always said foosball was the devil
Was he drafted?
Lol
It look like the video being sped up when he run 😳
Made Tebow actually look like a good quarterback
Tim played in the NFL, did you? I think Tim is a much better QB than you can ever be!
Tim Tebow was basic, any qb could've won with that team.
Man still threw for over 3000 yds and alot of rushing yds Tebow was solid fr

Lastly Jeff didn't play in the 90s. He played maybe 10 years ago tops.
