Two of Arkansas’s fastest football players are named by the strength coach.
Who is the fastest player on the football team? It’s a question that fans and players alike are constantly curious to answer. According to Trey Biddy of 247Sports, Arkansas’s head strength and conditioning coach Trumain Carroll recently disclosed the names of the two fastest Razorbacks.
During a press conference held in advance of the Arkansas Coaches/Media Gold Tournament, Carroll was questioned concerning the fastest Hogs. He disclosed that the two fastest players on the 2019 team are rookie CB LeDarrius Bishop and junior wide receiver Jordan Jones.
“Leading the team with the fastest players, you are all aware of Jordan Jones’ current rolling ability. LaDarrius Bishop is another guy that has surprising speed. Day Day Bishop can run almost as fast as Jordan Jones. Carroll told reporters, “Those are the top two, in my opinion, at the moment.
Carroll stated that UA isn’t into timing players’ 40-yard dash times, despite the fact that fans enjoy comparing times, which are common at the NFL Scouting Combine and Nike’s “The Opening.”
He continued, “Those guys move up to 23 miles per hour.” Since we don’t run 40s in football, we don’t necessarily base our assessment on that. However, based on the GPS data we gather, those individuals are up there at [23].
Although that may not seem like a fast speed, Biddy notes that the record speed set by renowned sprinter Usain Bolt is 27.8 mph. His racing speed is 23.35 mph on average.
Carroll’s comment that “we don’t run 40s in football” suggests that success on the football field requires more than just speed, but this indicates that Jones will be a threat to take it to the house in the open field and that Bishop is unlikely to be burned by opposing wide receivers.

A New Set of Recipients Is Very Quick
Arkansas’s FAYETTEVILLE After a few years, Arkansas seems to have attained SEC-caliber speed.
Just save your time and stop wondering who’s the fastest.
Oklahoma transfer Jadon Haselwood said on Tuesday afternoon, “We don’t really know.”
There were plenty of quick and agile guys on the Razorbacks who could catch the ball. However, they wouldn’t cause people to worry about passing them by.
Bryce Stephens, freshman Isaiah Sategna, and Matt Landers are talking.
When asked who could just line up and run by everyone, Haselwood and Ketron Jackson laughed together.
Jackson brought up Toledo native Landers, a 6-5, 197-pound senior transfer. So have a number of others, such as wide receivers coach Kenny Guiton and Sam Pittman.
After practice on Tuesday, Guiton remarked, “It’s just different when you’ve got a guy that long, that tall, that fast, and that can track the ball.” “He’s given our room a new addition. It has also detected other guys and said, “Look at that.” He’s jumped right in and is ready to learn new things every day.”
Malik Chavis and Hudson Clark, two cornerbacks, also spoke extensively about Landers.
“He can run and he can catch, so the deep ball, the 50-50 ball, yeah, I like Matt,” said Chavis.
Almost every receiver that is discussed brings up the subject of size and speed. This is distinct. Nobody moves slowly or is short.
“He has quite large strides,” Clark remarked on Monday afternoon. He’s undoubtedly a different kind of receiver than what we’ve seen at fall camp. Thus, he has benefited us.”
Finally, include the extra factor of Malik Hornsby, the quarterback, splitting out wide. The possibility that the Hogs could field a respectable relay team on any play is probably not all that unlikely.
The coaches seem to have realized all of a sudden that they must use his speed on the field whenever and wherever they can.
Guiton remarked, “He’s different out there.” “We want to put this guy out there, trust his judgment, and give him an opportunity to impact the game because he is talented in whatever he does.”
