    When was the last time we had a speed back?

    I mean a pure CJ type speed back

    OJ
    Cookie
    Bubba
    Thurman
    Davis
    Morris
    Bryson
    Smith
    Henry
    McGahee
    Lynch
    Jackson


    Have we ever had a 4.3 type RB?

    OJ was blisteringly quick. He doesn't tend to look it, because the fields played on, were so stodgy.

      Bryson was pretty fast, if I remember correctly. Simpson was a true thoroughbred...not too many backs could make running the football look as smooth and effortless and he could.

            Jackson is fast. Hence ''Fast Freddy"

              I've seen elsewhere, that OJ supposedly ran a 100 yard sprint in 9.4 seconds. I haven't seen it anywhere I'd really 'trust' though.
              Apparently, that might equate to about a 4.1 to 4.2 40 time.

                shawn bryson was very fast also mcgahee could have been similar to oj if he didnt have that gruesome knee injury...

                  pre injury he was clocked in the 4.3 - 4.2 range. i doubt he ever got over 4.7 after coming back.
                  My wife told me that if I had a dollar for every girl who found me unattractive, girls would find me VERY attractive.

                  MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!
