That pass by Rentzl is what we always hoped Dez could do.

He's still the fastest player I've ever seen in pads.

The insane acceleration when he gets to about the 35 or so in order to get to the sideline is just unreal.

And even more impressive is how if you watch all of his return TDs, very rarely does he run full speed the entire way.

He was so fast that he could just take his foot off the pedal with 30 or so yards to spare every time.

Yeah it doesn't even look like he is running that hard.

Dude, it was crazy how he would outrun everyone without much effort.

Look at his TDs here:



On the punt return, he stops running full speed once he gets to the sideline and yet still scores despite running half speed at about the 50.

Then on the INT, he runs past everyone by the time he gets to the opposing 40 and just coasts from there. :lol

I wish just for one day I could feel what it was like to possess that sort of athleticism.
