Barrion Brown’s Kickoff Return

[The-Hack]

I’ve watched it several times.

At about the 50, you see a defender “with the angle” and a five yard advantage closing toward the sideline. Brown easily closes the 5 yards in like three strides, and it ain’t even close when the defender gets to the sideline.

Freakish.

Yeah…he fast. Full stride, ain’t no body catching him.

Freakish.

Imagine how many he would have if they still kicked from the old distance.

To outrun the angle, you be fast.

Yeah if that kid puts in the work at WR he can be a freak in COLLEGE and the PRO’s.

Just read a story that Brown hit 22.3 MPH during that kick return. That would be good for the fastest player in the NFL this season to put his speed in perspective. ELITE speed.

I don't understand coaches not using a trick play to him at the end of the first half it is a free play as long as the other team doesn't score there is nothing lost

He had one earlier in almost the same spot and didn't bringing out.

His first ever career return (the one where he almost let the ball go too soon) when he gets to the sideline and whips the defender with the angle with pure speed showed me all I needed to see that was crazy. If you're outrunning kids with these kinds of angles you're definitely fast.

The old distance is the 40 yard line. So probably none.

The old distance is the 40 yard line. So probably none.

Kickoffs moved to the 30 yard line in 2007 and stayed there for 4-5 years. That is what the poster is referring to.
