Brandon Graham Compares Denard Robinson and Michael Vick's Speed

Share

The biggest story line early in this college football season has been the ridiculous play of Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson. He showed off his amazing quickness last week in helping defeat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, but just how fast is he? One guy we're all familiar with, Eagles rookie Brandon Graham spent last season on the same team as Shoelace and compares his speed to that of current teammate Michael Vick.

“Bothof them are pretty fast, I just think Vick’s older; he’s not reallythat fast like how Shoelace is,” Graham said. “I think Shoelace is morequick than Vick, but Vick, he gets away; he’s pretty fast still. And Ithink Shoelace might have got him by a couple steps.”

What's also interesting to me is just how quick Michael Vick still is at the ripe old age of 30. Steve Young, another quarterback who knows a thing or two about scrambling, said on Sunday that Vick's explosiveness is second to only one player in the NFL, the Titans' Chris Johnson.* That's some high praise for a quarterback.
