You sir are corrrect.
There's speed, and then there's world class speed.
A wide receiver and kick returner, Jefferson High's James Jett finished as runner-up in both the 100 and 200 meter sprints at the 1992 NCAA Track & Field Championships, earning the 'unofficial' title as the fastest man in college football. A gold medalist as a member of the
4 x 100 relay team at the 1992 Olympics, Jett was an undrafted free agent after finishing his football career at West Virginia. As a member of the Los Angeles/Oakland Raiders, James Jett played nine seasons in the NFL, winning the title of 'The NFL's Fastest Man' in 1996. He was elected to the WVU Sports Hall of Fame in 2002.
Some 411 for everyone.
