When Darrell Greene faced world class sprinters like Ron Brown, and Willie Gault, he beat them head to head. So yeah he might be the fastest guy to ever play. However Bob Hayes played in different Era and there are many who believe he's the fastest NFL player ever.
@brownstone145 heres the argument for Bob Hayes. Sprinters during his time ran on cinder tracks. The question is, what of Bob ran on the same track as Bolt and today's great sprinters. So that is the reason many believe he is the fastest player ever. No current NFL player runs anywhere near 10.06, and that's on a bad track.
I remember as a kid going to Texas A&I Javalinas games , I am glad i got to see him run the ball he was amazingly fast, memories i will never forget .thanks Darrell.
The one chase down they never show is him chasin down Herschel Walker. A pass went Walker he jumped and caught it between two defenders Herschel was on his way for 6 and out of nowhere Green said no no and stoped him short.
People don't realize Herschel Walker was a track guy with world class speed. He beat Carl Lewis in the 60 once. I believe his size made him look slow, but he was a burner.
@@sonoftank4511 The topic is Green being the fastest in NFL history. There is no restriction on the time frame. So by actual measured speed: 100m 1. Jim Hines 9.95 9/14/1968 (Dolphins 1969 - Chiefs 1970) 2. Trindon Holliday 10.00 6/10 & 12/2009 (Texans, Broncos, SF) 3. Jeffrey Demps RB 10.01 6/28/2008 (Buccaneers) Jacoby Ford 10.01 6/10/2009 (Raiders) 5. Bob Hayes 10.06 10/15/1964 (Cowboys, 49ers) Ron Brown 10.06 8/24/1983 (Rams, Raiders) 7. Alvis Whitted 10.07 7/15/1996 (Jaguars, Raiders) 8. Darrell Green 10.08 4/13/1983 (Redskins) 9. Sam Graddy 10.09 5/12/1984 (Broncos, Raiders) Anthony Schwartz 10.09
He ran a 4.24 outdoors on turf in training camp when he was 40 years old. Chris Johnson ran that coming out of college at 23. Fastest man in NFL history.
In 88 a few of us got the chance to run against him at a football camp. It's hard to describe what it's like when you look up and he was 10yrds in front of us and we were all sub 4.5.
I have always hated the Redskins, but they have had some of the best or scariest players over the years. Darrell Green was scary to watch beat your team, and was one of the best all times.
Yes D kept wheels had MA worried during the super bowl but my Trojan Teammate made it to the zone everybody thought speedy Green was going to come out of nowhere and catch Allen
He was the fastesr player I ever seen. He ran people down. He raced world class sprinters and beat them. Find the film on his world record sprint. The clock was shut off. Remember that
Bullet Bob Hayes was the fastest. The only man to win a Super Bowl and a Olympic Gold Medal. The zone defense was invented in attempt to try to cover him.
Chase down Tony Doesett, or even Eric Dickerson? Like Dickerson was faster than Dorsett? Sorry. Dorsett was faster. But Green was THE MAN. He had Bob Hayes type speed.
He was amazing. But he was one of the fastest. Not the fastest tho. There's film of Deion outrunning him on the field chasing down a defender. But yes he was fast
Darell Green was fast fast. Still underrated, in his HOF speech, he let the audience know..."I belong here." #HTTR
On that was run he tore a rib muscle hurdling that guy..And still got the TD!
I remember watching that game

Green was a great.
100 Meters in 10.06 seconds at the 64 Olympics...fastest NFL player ever

No it would be Bo Jackson m 4.1 in the forty
No actually the only head to head match up with Ron Brown GREENE lost the foot race to the endzone quit spewing bullshi*
Man I Wish the NFL still did the NFL's Fastest Man Contest.
I think Darrel could have played 40yrs. His speed and intelligence could have kept him in the league, particularly at free safty.
Yep, he still ran 4.5 at 50 years old SMH
Yup. This was one of the few dudes that could catch Bo jackson in the open field. Dude was faaaaassst!!
Nah. You going a little far there
@rudy6222 he said catch not tackle. That he's right about
Green was awesome. Didn't he only weigh about 167 lbs.
He is not catching Bo or his time is not close to Bo time in the 40
I DON’T KNOW ABOUT THE “FASTEST” BUT….I DO REMEMBER HIM GETTING BEAT BY TONY DORSETT AND GETTING UP AND RUNNING HIM DOWN AND TACKLING HIM….
His SKILLS were off the chain.
Legend has it that he was the only man to run his age in the 40. Ran a 4.5 at 45.
He was amazing.
Herschel ran 4.4 in his 50s
Green ran 4.5 at 50
@@rdogletree4543 they were both world class athletes
@@laron_t_green 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
Darrell Green the Goat at the Corner Back Postion
Hell no lmao that's prime
You really tried it🤣 Not even close Everyone knows that it’s Prime Time is the 🐐
Not only was he very fast⚡️ but a HOF player and a humble gentleman aswell 🏈
One of my all time favorite players i was a redskins fan back then
And now you an eagle fan now huh? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Come back bro
Support the new regime
One of the GREATEST ever
Definitely
One of my all time favorites!
#HTTR
He was amazing.
RIP Tiny Lester aka Debo that's his boy,he love Darrell Green
That is Lister not Lester.
Very bless man and very humble and A GOD fearing man as well...
FACTS! HELD THE AMERICAN COLLEGIATE 55M INDOOR RECORD FOR AWHILE!!
Citation
That is incorrect.
@@sydboski Apologies, COLLEGIATE record.
This is the very best corner ever. Ask Deon who the best corner WAS.
He played damn near 20 years didn't he?
Tootsie rolls in sock....love it
I remember as a kid going to Texas A&I Javalinas games , I am glad i got to see him run the ball he was amazingly fast, memories i will never forget .thanks Darrell.
You got that right. The fastest man to ever play this game and the most humble person you would ever meet.😊
Funny I can name 7 players who ran faster than Green did on his best day.
He slipped out the blocks and still won by a second....💪🏾
You mean a tenth or hundredth of a second. Not a full second.
@@sydboski thanks for the physics lesson👍🏾 Did you see it live?
@@djackson8206 Yes. I saw it and the results are on the net.
Yes sir,ta me tha first person ta have is own Island and people looked at him as underrated krazy pure talent (wassup D.G.)
Watched his career! Hell of a player!
He was the greatest CB ever - THE GOAT!!! Very exciting to watch !!! 💯
I loved watching Darryl Green play
One of the greatest to do it
And a truly good guy.
He was a beast !!!
The play where Darrell caught Dorsett from behind is one of the most legendary moments in the history of the NFL. So fast.
I love your shorts
Thanks bro 🙏
This man is the goat of corners!
Bob Hayes won 100 meter in the 1964 summer Olympics ran a under 10.0,he changed the the nfl coverage cause no one could cover him
Hayes time was 10.06 on cinders. It was not under 10. There is only 1 player in NFL history who OFFICIALLY ran under 10 seconds. Jim Hines.
The one chase down they never show is him chasin down Herschel Walker. A pass went Walker he jumped and caught it between two defenders
Herschel was on his way for 6 and out of nowhere Green said no no and stoped him short.
People don't realize Herschel Walker was a track guy with world class speed. He beat Carl Lewis in the 60 once. I believe his size made him look slow, but he was a burner.
Yes he was super fast great guy
A true beast
Yeah he was the man super good
Darrell Greene had that backwood country speed.
The only Redskin I have respect for
He always made a play.
Our favorite player toosirolr man.
Very Talented
DC IN THE HOUSE..
GREEN HAD DA GREEN LIGHT CAN GO WITH ANY RECIEVERS.....💯👍🏽🤔👍🏽👍🏽🏈
Truth ✊🏿
He wasn’t just a great redskin CB, he was a great NFL CB
All facts
Not all facts. There are 8 players who ran faster than Green did on his best day.
@@sydboski who at that time
@@sonoftank4511 The topic is Green being the fastest in NFL history. There is no restriction on the time frame. So by actual measured speed:
100m
1. Jim Hines 9.95 9/14/1968 (Dolphins 1969 - Chiefs 1970)
2. Trindon Holliday 10.00 6/10 & 12/2009 (Texans, Broncos, SF)

Jacoby Ford 10.01 6/10/2009 (Raiders)
5. Bob Hayes 10.06 10/15/1964 (Cowboys, 49ers)

9. Sam Graddy 10.09 5/12/1984 (Broncos, Raiders)
Anthony Schwartz 10.09
Darrell and Bo. Those guys were lightning.
Plenty of players faster than Bo. Only a few faster than Green.
He ran a 4.24 outdoors on turf in training camp when he was 40 years old. Chris Johnson ran that coming out of college at 23. Fastest man in NFL history.
Before Deoin Sanders and Bo Jackson came he was the fastest man in the league.
He was faster than Both of them too.
THE ORIGINAL FASTEST MAN IN THE NFL🙏🏿💯👊🏿🏈
Only because he won the first competition. There were other player designated the fastest man in the NFL before Green.
@@sydboski TRUE… GREEN WAS THE MOST WELL KNOWN
@@marloncosey8744 I wouldn't say that. Cliff Branch and Bob Hayes were very well known.
@@sydboski WASSUP DAWG!!! I WAS BORN IN THA ‘70s… IM 50yrs OLD.. WAS ONLY FAMILIAR WITH D GREEN… MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT 2 THA OGs B4 HIM
In 88 a few of us got the chance to run against him at a football camp. It's hard to describe what it's like when you look up and he was 10yrds in front of us and we were all sub 4.5.
He was my go to in nfl Street 2 crush the carrier
Bullet Bob Hayes was more than likely faster. He won a gold medal in the 100m. People seem to default to Green because of his longevity.
I have always hated the Redskins, but they have had some of the best or scariest players over the years. Darrell Green was scary to watch beat your team, and was one of the best all times.
He was small and fast a heart bigger than any player on the field
Yes D kept wheels had MA worried during the super bowl but my Trojan Teammate made it to the zone everybody thought speedy Green was going to come out of nowhere and catch Allen
Bro, you are making some good vids. Keep up the good work!
I feel like this dude just recently started watching these old guys play
Yes broke my heart when they came into Chicago and kicked the Bears arse in the playoffs, the end of Mike D😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Top notch
Yep.. grew up in DC...DG was serious..💨
Guest you never heard of Bullit Bob Hayes ( Dallas Cowboys ) recorded at Olympics fastest man on earth??? huh 😏
🐐🐐🐐🐐
He had serious speed
Darrell Green In his prime vs Tyreek Hill just them 2 on ah 🏝️that's a dream matchup...
Call that man by his name! Speedy!!
D. Green was nice....💯
He was the fastesr player I ever seen. He ran people down. He raced world class sprinters and beat them. Find the film on his world record sprint. The clock was shut off. Remember that
Always in the game when green stopped the most touchdowns.
He was also known for being faithful to his wife throughout his NFL career.
Salute to a PTP
He was the fastest for yrs won the fastest man in the nfl
Who really knows how fast this man was I don’t even think he knew
Met him when I was 12 in 1992 and asked him to race 😂
He past the torch to Champ Bailey.....
Bob Hayes Darrell Green. 😊
Sweet Tooth💪
BOB HAYES WAS THE FASTEST MAN IN Nfl
Bo Jackson was the fastest on the 40 and in the NFL training Camp
Sorry but there are a few players who ran faster than Hayes.
@@carnelltunstallLol. Bo's 40 time is a complete hand timed fluffed myth. His times at other distances do not point to him being that quick.
I got to meet him when i was a kid i got his autograph on a football
Darrell Green ran down ALL of the speedsters in the NFL, some of which had Olympic Medals!!!
let's not forget Mr. Bob Hayes , Cowboy player, Gold Medal.
Darrell Green was fast,but bullet Bob Hayes was faster!
- Bob “Bullet” Hayes (Dallas Cowboys) was the fastest man to play in the NFL.
He was Deon before Deon got into the league.
Hey Google. Whocis Randy Moss
Packers fans know
MX!! 🚀
Bullet Bob Hayes was the fastest. The only man to win a Super Bowl and a Olympic Gold Medal. The zone defense was invented in attempt to try to cover him.
Hayes was faster but, there are a few players who ran even faster than Hayes.
He was nice
I remember him eating and putting candy in his socks !!!
As fast as he was ,for some reason Everytime he chased Emmett Smith Emmett would do some kinda shake and lose his ass ,he couldn't stop Emmett 😊
Chase down Tony Doesett, or even Eric Dickerson? Like Dickerson was faster than Dorsett? Sorry. Dorsett was faster. But Green was THE MAN. He had Bob Hayes type speed.
Green was the 2nd fastest of all time.
Facts
He ran a 4.2 at 42..
That is suspect.
Only DB to actually rival Prime
He doesn't get his prop's
He was amazing. But he was one of the fastest. Not the fastest tho. There's film of Deion outrunning him on the field chasing down a defender. But yes he was fast
The truth
He beat Herschel in the 60 yard dash only to have Herschel beat him in the 100 meters.
I feel sorry for the youngsters who missed out on watching real football players.
