Alright, I moved out of Detroit over 30 years ago - but still a Lions faithful. My list:
- Jameson Williams
- Leonard Thompson
- Dre Bly
- J Gibbs
- Darius Slay
Am I wrong? Maybe in the ballpark though…? Tell me who it is…
Thank you.
Where is Megatron?! 4.35!!!

I don’t remember Bly being fast. I could be wrong. He was a ballhawk though

What was jamo clocked at on the 82 yarder last week?
Mel Gray has to be near the top

in regular coverage he was fasts enough. But his punt returns, for me, places him high on the list.

I don’t know why but I never seem to give Megatron his props. Heck, call me a commie bastard but I don’t ever remember seeing him absolutely pull away from defenders like JAMO does.
Calvin had a few slants where he pulled away from people… He suffered from being doubled on damn never every play, something Jamo doesn’t warrant. Plus, CJ clearly had a subpar OC and QB for all of his career 
Mel ran a 60 in 6 flat.
Gibby hit a 4.36 40. His superpower is planting his foot on a cut and bursting in a flash. Unnatural.

Don’t think Dre Bly was that fast:
But he certainly played faster than he timed.
Fastest so far for 2024 as a Lion.
Week 8 Gibbs - 22.03 MPH (3rd fastest of the season in entire NFL)
Week 11 Gibbs - 21.80 MPH (9th fastest of the NFL)
Week 8 Dorsey - 21.52 MPH (17th fastest)
Week 1 Jamo - 21.03 MPH
Week 17 Jamo - 20.90 MPH
Week 14 Jamo - 20.45 MPH
Week 8 Raymond - 20.39 MPH
Week 11 Jamo - 20.15 MPH
Week 12 St Brown - 20.09 MPH

I need Goff to throw a pick that Jamo can chase down like Metcalf did a couple years ago. ~That’s~ where you’ll see how much speed he really has.
