[@adamrose5690]

when i was a 13, my hockey coach brought in a figure skater one practice to show us how to skate backwards, and she was way faster backwards than any of us forwards. ( i had been skating for 10 years at that point, so no excuses!) this test would have been better if it were hockey, as defence men spend most of their time skating backwards, and can skate almost as fast backwards as forwards.

[@fernandoisaacfilms8933]

Putting a car with no traction or little traction to a test like that wont get u accurate results. Look at all tht wheelspin on the car. Smh. Entertainment not science

[@elkelkelk8]

+fernandoisaacfilms plus that car does not go 205 it goes like 190

[@auribe1230]

That wasn't an accurate test cuz he was running in the turf with cleats and the car was in the gravel with street tires so the test wasn't accurate

[@jorgenwu]

+Adrian Uribe Don't forget about the car going backwards and unfavorable weight transfer and the different (worse) gearing for speed in reverse. But either way, the dude running 14 mph backwards is pretty cool

[@thomasfoolery5031]

you act as if other teams don't get new fans every year. of course superbowl winning teams will attract more fans.

[@bullshark3771]

@@aynakoitzjose yes teams get new fans but rarely do they get an entire fanbase. Browns fans are very loyal and done are pity or baker fans but most are loyal. The LA rams fans left the building after the super bowl and didn’t care about the team. Some fans are fair weather some fan bases are worse than others. Lions are fairly loyal. The Miami Marlins and Tampa bay rays fans are fair weather fans. Their attendance is proof year in and year out. They will go from empty stadiums to packed stadiums if they are winning. Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Boston, dodgers, and even Oakland are pretty consistent in attendance.

shitty camera effects and added blur to deter us from how fricking slow this "average joe" is running, guess it didn't consider that the shoes grip would make a massive difference. "sign".

[@tokyosmoke291]

and the fact his feet were striking on the heels not the fore foot

[@bmsvg7356]

Ok so when he started he fell over He ran with his fists clenched tensing his muscles and slowing his arms. He basically broke every running rule in the book Plus this was clearly staged so he can win

Guy tripped, car peeled out and was on dirt, was not tested more than three times, not valid.

He had more traction, the car didnt,, unfair,, And they should have used a tuned AWD lol

[@wolfieplays1943]

a toyota yaris would have been better stops the wheelspin

[@lukaszepesi]

Well the average guy practically fell over at the start so this wasn't really a real race. By the build up you could tell Trufant was supposed to win so it could have all been fake aswell.

[@ilyabryzness4994]

The corvette should of been on concrete so it could some grip quicker not sand

[@jcerby03]

This is a joke. they set this up everytime to make athletes look like super machines. The guy slipped and he was pacing to make sure that marcus won, and they could have put the car on a actual road or on the field, not on a dirt track... might as well as put the car in snow or on ice

I play wide receiver and corner back for my high school and I can back pedal faster than most of my team can run forward and for conditioning one day we did what our defense couch Herder called the "Herders big 3" because he did it back in high school. It consisted or 1 a 200 yard sprint 2 a 200 yard bear crawl and 3 a 200 yard back pedal I did pretty well on the sprint and bear crawl but when we did the back pedal I finished 20 seconds before anyone else, plus a 1/4 of our team consisted of db's. It's one of the reasons why I'm the best db on the team

[@guitarron777]

i'd expect them to know that the coefficient of friction between the tire of the car and the dirt is relatively low compared to the athletes shoe and grass. And the car "peels out", that means it was slipping and not going anywhere. It could've been closer match.

[@Pepist]

john fell at beginning i declare a rematch!

[@99362010]

It's not just stride lenght and force because stride frequency is big factor

[@jaseraljaser1026]

you can't compare grass to sand ground!! there's different resistance

[@bakedbanana2555]

The photo finish was Really funny

[@TheChowbe76]

this channel is awesome

[@shko-mi]

Whay are "cornerbacks and wide recievers one of the fastest athletes in the world" when the fastest position in football is a running back?

[@ParaditeRs]

Interesting to know that they film this show at my old high school in Los Angeles. Best athletics facilities you can find, considering from what I was told, they spent 150M+ on the school and athletic facilities.

[@AtH1338]

yeah, usually I like to run the stems slowly and then all the sudden accelerate to freak the CB out lol. Being fast is only half of being a good WR.

[@MrBobNojob]

safer as well, running on your heels is strongly argued to be cause of lots of knee problems

[@Huntercollis1]

@egonzal ya it's probably 1 of the hardest spots but I think the o line doesnt get nothin and o line is the key on O

@Egonzal316 not true there are a lot of Cornerbacks that are well known like Devin Hester

[@Jp4wt]

@Nycku007 dont know something about you, but are u an all around average guy or maybe a 22 yr old athlete at a university team sport which focus on running? but i agree to your statement: his running looked not like a sprint more like a consecutive section of falling and slipping with to much wasted motion. with regards JP4WT

[@tracersbooty9918]

4:12 corvette in the background lol most interesting part of this video xD

[@phirephaxL]

That's stupid. You dont sprint with your heels lol

[@imaginyou4]

Corners tend to be that fastest on the field, honestly the only competition is Safetys and Recievers. RB's arent usually that fast.

[@Armo189]

@Egonzal316 i find safety in my opinion one of the hardest because you have a very large responsibility as a safety i played corner for 2 years and moved to safety because im 6'3" and i find safety more challenging

[@brand1nn943]

Turn on captions at 4:30

[@TheBlaze4000]

why does contact time decrease downforce?

[@videoomaster]

"He was just laughing at me" 4:08 made me laugh so hard

[@VainFate]

They may have messed up their judgement on some parts of this but the average person sprints at like 13 mph. I have been clocked at 18-19mph in a sprint, and have raced many people. I raced a guy who out weighed me by 90lbs, but yet he beat me, this was due to his starting push which was better then mine. Even if John had cleats, he still wouldn't have beat him. He wasn't low enough to the ground on the start, nor did he have a good stride. So Marcus may indeed have won fair and square.

[@salmankougan6809]

I think this gave me a new favorite football player

[@mbeezy94]

at 3:40 there is then isn't a yellow corvette

[@icedbunn89]

I love how ropy the science is! Making out that less contact time with the ground is a bad thing?!

[@AtH1338]

actually RBs are slower than CBs but faster than receivers it has nothing to do with toughness if you've played all three positions which I assume you have based on the way you are talking.

[@Mosfet510]

I love these videos! The speed going backwards is insane. No matter what, that was very fast in reverse.

[@DesiOrozco]

him n Sherman are so alike... so cocky them two

[@ra1dernat1on34]

what a lazy comment. everyone in the nfl is confident

[@ronaldomendoza9241]

[@georgiearn2791]

+Desi Orozco Not really. A very large percentage of NFL cornerbacks are supremely arrogant.

[@kamroninman4799]

That's the point they're supposed to get in the receivers head

[@catico50]

"sorry reciever like "corvettee" pls get name correct, its crabtree

[@bossoholic]

Super cars like this have high end torque and lack low end. Try a suped up diesel truck (with traction though). That would be interesting

[@Mandingo17]

some ppl jog with heel strike but i nvr seen an average joe sprint heel striking

[@fashorenny8453]

😮 impressed no more comments

[@NaturesComboMeal]

The shoes don't matter because the average person (when sprinting) doesn't wear cleats, and cars are made to drive on all terrains so the dirt had no affect.

[@DoorGunner5]

CB has to master alot of technique's, it's sucks when you just started football and have to learn em all ASAP before the new season starts..

What happened at 4:10

[@darickschott3171]

Yeah the dude was right when he said it was all about the start

[@THamiltonTV]

[@SickBaller95]

6:03-6:04 car brakess...

[@theslyda71]

so the average joe can beat the corvette too? that makes me feel pretty good. I would want to see the corvette on pavement though. maybe even driving forward. and a receiver (forward) vs. corvette (forward). ps. top speed has very little to do with the first 20 yards.

[@dlowe92]
