To me, being fast in the 300 hurdles is more related to this than to speed.
The only track times that I think have any relevance to football speed are 60m, 100m, and 110m hurdles, in that order. With the latter 2, I want to see a blazing fast time before I draw the conclusion that someone is fast on a football field - I'd say 10.5 or better in the 100m and 13.8 or better in the hurdles. I'm not saying anyone slower than those times is slow on a football field, but since 100m/110m is longer than you'll ever run on a football field, you have to be careful of the sprinters who can pass runners at the 60m/70m mark or beyond - that speed is useless on a football field. If you're running 10.5 or better in the 100m in h.s., you're probably in the top 40-50 in the country, and you have to be pretty **** fast throughout the race to finish with that time. 13.8 or better in the 110m hurdles is probably around top 20 in the country for h.s. in any given year. Top to bottom, hurdlers aren't as fast as sprinters - hence top 20ish vs. top 40ish.
As for 60m, 7.0 or better is pretty **** fast (probably top 60-80 in the country for h.s. in any given year). That's the point where I'd say someone can outrun angles against a lot of collegiate defenses. Lingard is just about there at 7.02 for a personal best in the 60 (to give a comparison, I believe Duke Johnson's best 60m time in college was 6.92, but he only participated during one indoor season). I'd say that means more in terms of football than his times in the 100m, 110mH, or 300mH, and, even then, I wouldn't say a 60m time means a lot - unless you're Jacoby Ford and run sub 6.6.
But all of this is just like, my opinion, man.

Man, preach. He and Davis are perfect complements, too. So incredibly exciting to have that type of talent on our side again. Not having to pray for "breaks."

And to remember that Gurley was a world class hurdler in high school in the 110. His vision on the football really sets him apart.

Hey CarolCityHigh, you seem pretty in tune with track. Based on your experience, which track event/events tend to portend the greatest football success?

Hurdles aren't part of college football. Lingard is an exceptional athlete but I like Cam. Just as much.

Gurley was an exceptional hurdler coming out of highschool tool. He will be that type of back. Regardless we have an elite running back class right now

Starting to shape up like a Miami worthy depth chart at RB. It can happen quick though, look at our DL we went from pathetic to flirting with top 5 real quick.
Arguably the most important trait for a RB.

It was raining with a cross wind as well out there. Should be around 36.7 in a couple weeks.

Yeah, it's early in the track season. Generally you'll see faster times as the season progresses in most events, even the sprints.

37 is fast. If he breaks into the 36ish range is crazy.
I do find it hard that the guy runs a 7 in the 60M but a 4.6 in the 40.
In the 2016 track season Lingrad had an official 100m in 10.80 meeting the national elite standard of 10.80 for that event. So he cannot have a terrible 40 and have that time. As previously mentioned by CCH and others often 35% or more of people will not run the 40 at these Nike's even HS sprinters for fear of a bad time. Heck even Anthony Schwartz of A.H. who has an official 10.26--100m ran "only" a 4.51--40 at last years Nike and Mike Harley know for his short burst quickness ran an official 10.78--100m last year at at the same combine that year also posted a 4.51--40.
Practice in the Nike 40 is essential. T. Bandy ran a 4.68 at the A.H. Combine last March. He went to Oregon for the Nike nationals in June where they are there for almost a week and are shown how to run the form for the best time and he posted a 4.51 there.

He's not coming close to the Florida record which is 35.39 by Bershawn Jackson. The Florida state meet record is like a 36.01 or something by Jackson too. His overall record for a Florida athlete won't be broken by Lingard. Thomas burns may have a chance next year as a senior. I know Batman used to train with Artie and I'm sure he's helping Thomas
