CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Second-round draft pick Curtis Samuel gave the Carolina Panthers a sample of his raw speed late Friday afternoon when he pulled away from defenders down the right sideline.
First-round pick Christian McCaffrey, also known for his speed, was so impressed that he ran across the field to congratulate his new teammate.
Marvin Bracy?
Not blown away.
There’s speed, and then there’s world-class speed.
Nothing against Samuel and McCaffrey, but their times of 4.31 and 4.48 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine don’t compare to running the 100-meter dash in 9.
