In his high school years, some guy named Woody Dantzler was 3rd in the state in the 400m. I understand he was an ok football player.

perhaps he had more than just flat out speed.

remember marquis davis? he was a track superstar, that had no clue what to do on the football field in starkville. richard ball was also fast in the 100 and 200 (i think), but never was great at football.

that said, i surely hope that wilder is great. i would be happy if he breaks some big ones like kenny ray roberts (who i think ran anchor for the 1x100 state track team). remember that run he busted that beat auburn?
