While reading @Brandon Brown's 2019 Sweet 16 - September Edition I was a bit skeptical when I came across "... clocks sub-11 second times in the 100m dash at 6-5, 245 pounds."
We've all seen 4.2 40y dashes that were hand-timed by a prospect's parents in their backyard. I figured this was another urban legend mark--not so.

Not only has Harrison run electronically timed 10.78 and 10.82 over 100m but more impressively, to me, he's run a 22.01 200 metres into a 5.8 mph headwind. He's also run 22.02, 21.58, 21.55, and 22.00 (1.2 headwind). Not only is Harrison fast, he's tough as nails physically and mentally. To push that size body that hard into that wind in a sport (track & field) that could mean nothing to a 5★ football prospect (like it does to most of the world)... wow, really wow.
