The speed doctor for Alabama football not only wants a season, but he is also pushing the Crimson Tide to have a different gear than the rest of college football.
With the SEC and ACC moving forward with football activities, Dr. Matt Rhea is preparing the Tide’s student-athletes for fall practice on next week. As the Director of Performance Science, Rhea enjoys having fun with players and engaging them in competitions to make them better. He addressed Alabama fans via Twitter on which player would win in a 40-yard race?
Alabama fans, who do you think wins a 40 yd race?
Jobe
Smith
Surtain
Waddle?Might have to get some video of this because all four can flat out run. Talk about making each other better!

The quartet of Josh Jobe, Devonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle and Patrick Surtain II were the answer choices.
While the majority sees Waddle as the undisputed king of speed, Rhea knows all four are really fast.
