+burmesebeef I agree that it's mostly entertainment. There's some science, but it's all about extrapolation. They take the bare bones of science, then extrapolate the hell out of it.
when i was a 13, my hockey coach brought in a figure skater one practice to show us how to skate backwards, and she was way faster backwards than any of us forwards. ( i had been skating for 10 years at that point, so no excuses!) this test would have been better if it were hockey, as defence men spend most of their time skating backwards, and can skate almost as fast backwards as forwards.
+KarzolaTV I know a running back at a local college. He runs from his house to my house at full sprint and he lives 2 miles away and when he gets to my house he only breathes heavy for like 30 seconds and then he is normal. Its crazy.
+George M. I love how you're freaking out because he called you out on obviously lying because I'm guessing you've never actually ran in your life. Sprinting 2 miles at full speed is physically impossible so you were certainly lying.
Putting a car with no traction or little traction to a test like that wont get u accurate results. Look at all tht wheelspin on the car. Smh. Entertainment not science
@@aynakoitzjose yes teams get new fans but rarely do they get an entire fanbase. Browns fans are very loyal and done are pity or baker fans but most are loyal. The LA rams fans left the building after the super bowl and didn’t care about the team. Some fans are fair weather some fan bases are worse than others. Lions are fairly loyal. The Miami Marlins and Tampa bay rays fans are fair weather fans. Their attendance is proof year in and year out. They will go from empty stadiums to packed stadiums if they are winning. Detroit, Cleveland, New York, Boston, dodgers, and even Oakland are pretty consistent in attendance.
shitty camera effects and added blur to deter us from how fricking slow this "average joe" is running, guess it didn't consider that the shoes grip would make a massive difference. "sign".
+Adrian Uribe Don't forget about the car going backwards and unfavorable weight transfer and the different (worse) gearing for speed in reverse. But either way, the dude running 14 mph backwards is pretty cool
Well the average guy practically fell over at the start so this wasn't really a real race. By the build up you could tell Trufant was supposed to win so it could have all been fake aswell.
lol. this show definitely has no problem with showing professional athletes on the losing side. but i wouldn't expect you to know that, since you spend all your time correcting youtube videos to make yourself feel smarter.
Ok so when he started he fell over He ran with his fists clenched tensing his muscles and slowing his arms. He basically broke every running rule in the book Plus this was clearly staged so he can win
This is a joke. they set this up everytime to make athletes look like super machines. The guy slipped and he was pacing to make sure that marcus won, and they could have put the car on a actual road or on the field, not on a dirt track... might as well as put the car in snow or on ice
I wish the Seahawks would've kept Trufant for one more year. He would've been a Super Bowl Champion! As a Seahawks fan, I would've been so proud of him after all he's contributed to the team.
I play wide receiver and corner back for my high school and I can back pedal faster than most of my team can run forward and for conditioning one day we did what our defense couch Herder called the "Herders big 3" because he did it back in high school. It consisted or 1 a 200 yard sprint 2 a 200 yard bear crawl and 3 a 200 yard back pedal I did pretty well on the sprint and bear crawl but when we did the back pedal I finished 20 seconds before anyone else, plus a 1/4 of our team consisted of db's. It's one of the reasons why I'm the best db on the team
i'd expect them to know that the coefficient of friction between the tire of the car and the dirt is relatively low compared to the athletes shoe and grass. And the car "peels out", that means it was slipping and not going anywhere. It could've been closer match.
They may have messed up their judgement on some parts of this but the average person sprints at like 13 mph. I have been clocked at 18-19mph in a sprint, and have raced many people. I raced a guy who out weighed me by 90lbs, but yet he beat me, this was due to his starting push which was better then mine. Even if John had cleats, he still wouldn't have beat him. He wasn't low enough to the ground on the start, nor did he have a good stride. So Marcus may indeed have won fair and square.
Interesting to know that they film this show at my old high school in Los Angeles. Best athletics facilities you can find, considering from what I was told, they spent 150M+ on the school and athletic facilities.
@Nycku007 dont know something about you, but are u an all around average guy or maybe a 22 yr old athlete at a university team sport which focus on running? but i agree to your statement: his running looked not like a sprint more like a consecutive section of falling and slipping with to much wasted motion. with regards JP4WT
@Egonzal316 i find safety in my opinion one of the hardest because you have a very large responsibility as a safety i played corner for 2 years and moved to safety because im 6'3" and i find safety more challenging
actually RBs are slower than CBs but faster than receivers it has nothing to do with toughness if you've played all three positions which I assume you have based on the way you are talking.
The shoes don't matter because the average person (when sprinting) doesn't wear cleats, and cars are made to drive on all terrains so the dirt had no affect.
so the average joe can beat the corvette too? that makes me feel pretty good. I would want to see the corvette on pavement though. maybe even driving forward. and a receiver (forward) vs. corvette (forward). ps. top speed has very little to do with the first 20 yards.
The race against the corvette wasn't very accurate. Rubber on loose dirt = very little traction and a lot of wheel spin until it gets some type of traction with the rubber. I'd like to see the race on asphalt.
thanks for the vid! doesnt the host slipping over at the start kinda remove any validity to the race? I mean trufant had cleats on! same thing with putting a muscle car on dirt
when you think about it, football is really the hardest sport to play because it is so easy that you have to be an incredible player to go anywhere because everyone else plays it
I love sport science, but cmon they should know that top speed means nothing in a race. They should have mentioned the 6.2L V8 and the fact that the bottom end torque would help it accelerate
Usama Urfi Exactly I mean considering a good drag race, at least use a V12 or V8 and all wheel drive launch. That Corevette would of smoked him otherwise.
you really can't jsut generalize a position when you talk about who's the fastest...it just depends on the specific player(s) (for example, darren sproles and chris rainey are fast as hell....but then Brandon jacobs and jason snelling are slow)
There is only one question sports science can't answer; why is Marcus Trufant wearing gloves
Fashion
aerodynamics
Practice like you play

It's called 'average joe' for a reason.

and the fact his feet were striking on the heels not the fore foot
That wasn't an accurate test cuz he was running in the turf with cleats and the car was in the gravel with street tires so the test wasn't accurate

These new hardcore Seahawk "fans" don't even know anyone who played CB before Sherman came along.
how about the panthers "fans" that don't know who played quarterback before cam newton

lukaszepesi the average joe had 0 chances anyway
lukaszepesi that how he started it looks like
lu
Ok so when he started he fell over
He ran with his fists clenched tensing his muscles and slowing his arms.
He basically broke every running rule in the book
Plus this was clearly staged so he can win
3:36 Maybe that's why Lofa Tatupu said "If people knew what happened on Trufant SS episode, they would be disgusted"
Guy tripped, car peeled out and was on dirt, was not tested more than three times, not valid.
He had more traction, the car didnt,, unfair,,
And they should have used a tuned AWD lol
a toyota yaris would have been better stops the wheelspin
The corvette should of been on concrete so it could some grip quicker not sand
An f150 would be a better vehicle AWD is key
This is a joke. they set this up everytime to make athletes look like super machines. The guy slipped and he was pacing to make sure that marcus won, and they could have put the car on a actual road or on the field, not on a dirt track... might as well as put the car in snow or on ice

It's not just stride lenght and force because stride frequency is big factor
john fell at beginning i declare a rematch!
The photo finish was Really funny

Go to 4:30 with the subtitles on
watching the host run was so cringey

4:12 corvette in the background lol most interesting part of this video xD
What happened at 4:10
Turn on captions at 4:30
this channel is awesome
yeah, usually I like to run the stems slowly and then all the sudden accelerate to freak the CB out lol. Being fast is only half of being a good WR.
why does contact time decrease downforce?
safer as well, running on your heels is strongly argued to be cause of lots of knee problems
I think this gave me a new favorite football player
Mr.marcus trufant is truly an inspiration. Hes my favorite player on the seattle seahawks. 1# baby.
I know him irl :))
at 3:40 there is then isn't a yellow corvette
his leg when they cross the finish line was the funniest thing ever lmfao
"He was just laughing at me" 4:08
made me laugh so hard
Shouldn't contact time be increased when going backwards?????????
Corners tend to be that fastest on the field, honestly the only competition is Safetys and Recievers. RB's arent usually that fast.
@Nycku007 dont know something about you, but are u an all around average guy or maybe a 22 yr old athlete at a university team sport which focus on running?
but i agree to your statement: his running looked not like a sprint more like a consecutive section of falling and slipping with to much wasted motion.

@egonzal ya it's probably 1 of the hardest spots but I think the o line doesnt get nothin and o line is the key on O
Whay are "cornerbacks and wide recievers one of the fastest athletes in the world" when the fastest position in football is a running back?
@Egonzal316 not true there are a lot of Cornerbacks that are well known like Devin Hester
1:02 did he say " bestest athletes in the world?
He said fastest
if he did say bestest that would be incorrect
Tom Shiveley ur grammar is so amazing
He said fastest
@jellopwns Or Revis vs. Antonio Cromartie vs. Dominique Rogers-Cromartie vs. Asante Samuel.
I love how ropy the science is! Making out that less contact time with the ground is a bad thing?!
him n Sherman are so alike... so cocky them two
what a lazy comment. everyone in the nfl is confident
Truant is better
+Desi Orozco
Not really. A very large percentage of NFL cornerbacks are supremely arrogant.
That's the point they're supposed to get in the receivers head
"sorry reciever like "corvettee" pls get name correct, its crabtree
CB has to master alot of technique's, it's sucks when you just started football and have to learn em all ASAP before the new season starts..
That's stupid. You dont sprint with your heels lol
@Egonzal316 i find safety in my opinion one of the hardest because you have a very large responsibility as a safety i played corner for 2 years and moved to safety because im 6'3" and i find safety more challenging
actually RBs are slower than CBs but faster than receivers it has nothing to do with toughness if you've played all three positions which I assume you have based on the way you are talking.
I love these videos! The speed going backwards is insane. No matter what, that was very fast in reverse.
Super cars like this have high end torque and lack low end. Try a suped up diesel truck (with traction though). That would be interesting
The shoes don't matter because the average person (when sprinting) doesn't wear cleats, and cars are made to drive on all terrains so the dirt had no affect.
How is the car squeeling the tires when its a dirt road?
so the average joe can beat the corvette too? that makes me feel pretty good.
I would want to see the corvette on pavement though. maybe even driving forward.
and a receiver (forward) vs. corvette (forward).
ps. top speed has very little to do with the first 20 yards.
Yeah the dude was right when he said it was all about the start
😮 impressed no more comments
i see that now, but i posted that 2 days ago when he wasnt signed...
bro what is that track tho?
SPEEED IS KEY
some ppl jog with heel strike but i nvr seen an average joe sprint heel striking
The race against the corvette wasn't very accurate. Rubber on loose dirt = very little traction and a lot of wheel spin until it gets some type of traction with the rubber. I'd like to see the race on asphalt.
He still managed to run fairly quickly although im sure his ears generated alot of wind resistance
thanks for the vid! doesnt the host slipping over at the start kinda remove any validity to the race? I mean trufant had cleats on! same thing with putting a muscle car on dirt
If i take long strides and go all out running backwards i can go pretty fast
@edgerrinacortijo devin hester got moved to wide reciever in the 08 season
it is what it is
when you think about it, football is really the hardest sport to play because it is so easy that you have to be an incredible player to go anywhere because everyone else plays it
Touché
His calf muscles are insane
7:17, is "gun" a word that is censored on TV? Or are they propagating stereotypes by trying to portray that he swore?
ok I play coner and I had to picks to day and reterned one for a td
Austin Hash pay attention in class more please
I haven’t heard of almost any of these guys.
yes you do... if the receiver can beat you deep you can never play man to man...
So why are you saying of course if his top speed is slower?
I love sport science, but cmon they should know that top speed means nothing in a race. They should have mentioned the 6.2L V8 and the fact that the bottom end torque would help it accelerate
Usama Urfi Exactly I mean considering a good drag race, at least use a V12 or V8 and all wheel drive launch. That Corevette would of smoked him otherwise.

@chengy220 thats what im thinking especially since nnamdi is the best CB in the NFL and has foot speed
what about polamalu in this one?
Needs to be able to back out the store real quick
At 6:03 you see the driver hitting the brakes during the race. So dumb. But Tru still dope.
is the place micheal contrearus high school??????
CB is definitely the hardest position on the field, athletically.
Normal C6 do not go 205mph. ZR1 does but not normal corvette.
is that what he said?
6:03-6:04 car brakess...
he only ran 14mph. if I ran against him I would leave him in the dust
What round were you drafted in?
you really can't jsut generalize a position when you talk about who's the fastest...it just depends on the specific player(s) (for example, darren sproles and chris rainey are fast as hell....but then Brandon jacobs and jason snelling are slow)
I kinda doubt that
3:54 look at Jon's leg
@camaro76 no shit they explained it
it was on sand lol
why does he start infront of him?
First off, the car is on dirt. Then, the tires spun. It's also rear wheel drive. Pretty bad selection. Let him race the car for 100 yards or more.
