Is Will that fast or the kids he played against in HS are that slow


May 5, 2020, 10:23 PM

Wow. That kid has some wheels

Would you be asking that if he were black?


May 5, 2020, 10:26 PM

I wouldn’t.

I admit it, I tend to assume white = slower.

People ask if someone is playing against good competition


May 6, 2020, 12:53 AM [ in reply to Would you be asking that if he were black? ]

No matter what color they are. It’s a good gauge of speed if a guy is walking away from 6A competition, etc.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I know, but it gets asked less when it’s a black person.


May 6, 2020, 9:45 AM

Much like anytime a white player is good, he typically only gets compared to another white guy.

I don’t have a problem with it, but I do think it’s interesting.

It's really like anything else being compared, you wouldn't compare a green Apple to a green Pear!!! But, when you compare a white guy to another white guy, there are the ignorant that try to bring racism into the comparison, but when you compare a black guy to another black guy, there isn't anything racist about that comparison. Go figure!!!

He's white so by default, ?'s, accusations, & ridicule may be directed his way w/o fear of reprecussion. Lasered 4.46 as a 10th grader is rare. Guessing that is why some believe he's peaked early-generally hs jr knocks 2/10s off their 40 time b4 leaving a 4yr university-

LOL - this is indeed funny, as I was thinking the same thing watching him separate from their fastest Black athletes. And not just against one team, but ALL of them. He will need to drop by CLEMSON one day and meet ETN for a dash. Should be fun to watch.

Re: Is Will that fast or the kids he played against in HS are that slow

Could be my eyes but he looks like he is as big as the lineman and linebackers. Seems to have pretty good straight ahead speed but never saw any lateral moves. Wiggle in the hips. All straight ahead runs.....competition he played against appears suspect. But time will tell.

At 4.4 and also has a great shuttle time, 36” vertical so he is an athlete.

I don’t think he is on ETNs level but certainly has elite skills.

I ran a 4.9 forty in high school, but I had good "football speed". I never ran down or even caught up to anybody who ran a sub 4.8 though.

A laser timed 4.46 is pretty fast!

Re: 4.48 in the 40. Good speed for a RB.***


May 6, 2020, 9:49 AM

At the 2019 NFL combine, 4:48 was the slowest time by RB Travis Homer, and 4:40 was the fastest time by RB Justice Hill. Just saying, and I'm assuming that Will Shipley will get a little faster by the time his college career is over at Clemson....

Peter Warwick ran a 4.58 at NFL Combiine yet elusive


May 6, 2020, 9:22 AM

and somewhat difficult to tackle at FSU.

Christian McCaffrey ran a 4.48 and has seen some success in the NFL. (Yes deliberate understatement.)

So my take is anything 4.5ish or under is plenty fast enough when combined with other skills like vision, balance and break away strength.

A fast kid will seldom catch a faster kid. That’s why dropping back a defensive lineman doesn’t work. He can out run a guy getting the ball, IMO .
