08:16 AM ET 03.31 | Speed is one of the great "wow" factors in sports. Many coaches, like former Florida coach Urban Meyer, aspire to have the country's fastest team. With that in mind, who will be the fastest players in college football this fall? ... 1. Jeff Demps, RB/WR, Florida Gators. The fastest man in college sports. Period. No football player has bigger sprint credentials than this Gator. Demps' home must be littered with NCAA hardware from all of his national titles in track. Earlier this month, he repeated as the 60-meter champ at the 2011 NCAA indoor track and field championships. Demps' documented track times are insane. He has had a productive football career as a home-run threat for Meyer. Even though he has spent most of the spring with the Gators track team, not with new football coach Will Muschamp, who is shifting to a pro-style attack, Demps still should have an important role in the team's offense this year.

I didn't even consider that a valid comment...
... obviously, Demps has zero chance to defeat Bolt, Tyson Gay, or any other top 5 100 meter world sprinter.

Bro'...
... he can't hang with world class sprinters.
Not just Bolt, but Tyson Gay and the rest will roast him.

... which isn't even 60 meters.
Let alone 100 meters.
Demps wouldn't even be in the picture at the finish line of 100 meters against the top 5 world sprinters.

Alright, his personal best puts him sixth...
... and, you think a year of training will help boost that time?
Or, will a year of football pounding and injuries lesses his already inferior "best" time?
Inferior only in comparison to the top 5 sprinters.
