They weren't set up for a guy that was as fast as I was. People that would throw the ball to me, I would have to stutter-step and wait until they got in front of me. I had all that speed. They had very little deception in terms of the plays that I was involved in. And, I think this hurt me in terms of the kind of statistics I might have accomplished at Harvard, the college level. In terms of ability, speed, and strength I think I compared with guys who went on to be pro athletes.
