Sarge Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Darrell whipped Carl Lewis ass in what I believe was an Olympic tryout in 83 or 84 http://www.answers.com/topic/darrell-green As a football player Green was named Division II All-American and in track the only man who ran a faster collegiate 100-meter time was Olympic legend Carl Lewis.

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 He was fast, but he wasn't world-class track fast. Darrell ran the second fastest 100m in the world in 1983. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playsmart30 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 If Darrel Green was train to run track like other. He will be faster than anybody. He was already fast than most and all of nfl player but just was not train to run track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Carl Lewis? Ron Brown? No he didn't. He faced and beat Ron Brown head to head in the 60 yard dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Dude was monster fast. I could definitely see him having won Olympic gold if he had trained for and competed in the games back in the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HTTR84 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Carl Lewis? Ron Brown? No he didn't. DG went head to head with Ron Brown in the 1988 and the 1991 "NFL Fastest Man" competition. DG beat him both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo-toni Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The great thing about threads like this - they always separate people who really know their Skins history from people who just post like it's a drive-by shooting.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoneySkinsFan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 super fast DG trained and was built for football season. If he just focused on track, he'd be a great at that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedskinDaddy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Absolutely. DG could probably still give the fastest guys in the league a run for their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Absolutely. DG could probably still give the fastest guys in the league a run for their money. He was in Hawaii last year at the Pro Bowl when he participated in some of the exhibition events the weekend before the game He ran a couple of races and smoked some rooks. He ended up placing something like 5th out of all the participants, kids 20 years his junior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkinsNatsCapsFan Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Wow, you guys are not really that smart eh? The guy is a class act and fast... loved his speech but to say he has world class track speed or ever did is just down right wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
