Temple Recruit Freddie Booth Lloyd Weighs in at Around 315 Pounds But Runs Like a Wide Receiver (maybe a tight end)

Big guys are not supposed to be speed demons. By big guys I don't mean the Jadeveon Clowney types, but the B.J. Raji ones. Those guys are supposed to be able to move, but no one expects them to move like Temple recruit Freddie Booth Lloyd.

Just watch as he tears up the track in this relay.



The reported 315 pounder runs a 4.9 40-yard dash. To put that in to perspective at the NFL Combine Blake Bortles ran a 4.93. A.J. McCarron a 4.94, David Fales a 4.99, and Jimmy Garappolo a 4.97. Those are all quarterback (if the names aren't all familiar to you).

The obvious question is whether he can use the speed on the field. Well--the answer is yes.

Here he is beating a defensive back off the line while playing wide receiver.


And here he is returning an interception 81 yards for a touchdown.


Now just imagine what this kid is going to be like after three years with a college strength and conditioning coach.
