@Eddielinks_ You’re missing everything here. When he played most DBs ran a 4.4-4.5 40. Deion ran a 4.21 40. There are two things your missing:
1. Route running. Rice vs Deion:
9/23/90: 8 catches, 171 yards, 1 TD
10/14/90: 13 catches, 225 yards, 5 TDs
2. He ran his 10th 40 at the same 4.7
@jheck20@AustinScholar Yep. Rewards are all short term. It must come from within to be sustained long term which is all that matters. Bribes actually hurt long term because the bribe becomes the norm and actually less motivating without the bribe.
