10.3 is super fast. I', skeptical that Wallace could have ever broken 10 seconds. There have only been 80 people in history to ever do it (interestingly, all but 4 are of West African heritage). It's exceedingly rare, even for guys who elite fast in the NFL. I've been going on about this b/c I suspect Rainey had a less than great day at the combine and that he'll play faster than a 4.45, especially w/ his CoD skills.

Matt Millen was on NFL Network today and all he could do was gush over the Steelers draft. He said from RND 1 to RND 5 are all excellent picks just confirming the "science" behind the Steelers method of addressing their football team through the draft. Millen said Rainey was the most fascinating pick due to Rainey's CoD [change of direction] abilities combined with his speed and that once Rainey breaks out into the open field he's gone. TD! Put a smile on my face.  If we were to hit on 5 picks out of the draft? Man what an amazing feat.

Steelafan, saw the same thing. I was pleased, too.
Until I remembered it was Matt Millen.
Nice to hear Colbert and Co. getting some love from the bobbleheads, though, for sure.
