The Jets worked out Olympic sprinter Tre Houston on Thursday, the Daily News has learned. Houston competed in the 200 meters for Bermuda at the 2016 Rio Games.

Gang Green also gave Houston a physical.

He worked out for the Chiefs last week.

Houston is projected to be a wide receiver.

No harm in working him out, he would be severely undersized because he's about 6' 0" and somewhere around 155 lbs.  Speed seems great though my calculations have to be wrong, what am I doing wrong?  It would seem he has a 3.7 40 yard speed.  

He ran the 200 meters in 20.85

1 meter = 1.09361 yards

So 200 meters = 200(1.09361) to get = 218.722 yards

So he ran 218.722 yards in 20.85

40/218.722= .18288055

So it's essentially 18% of the total yardage he ran.  

20.85 X .18288055= 3.81

So does the time say he ran a 3.81 40 yard dash? Or am I missing something?

not at all.  it means his average speed for the 200m was equal to that of a person running a 3.81 40.  his 40 yard ash time was probably around 4.2.  very fast. is he the next bob hayes?

Don't know anything about the kid but already knocking him > What a fan base .   



No matter what the Jets do or don't do, say or don't say, plan or don't plan the famed JN Gang of Five SOJFS are 100 percent certain to hate, abhor, despise and pray for it to be a mistake.

I wouldn't say "What a fan base" because IMHO the vast majority of Jet fans are much, much more loyal and better fans than this annoying and unfunny and group of thread derailers

Yeah, required more research to find the splits, but apparently he's not famous enough for it.  Can't seem to find his splits anywhere, you would think it'd be somewhat available since it's everywhere for the 40 yard dash at the combine.

Chiefs work out Rio Olympics track star Tre Houston - CBSSports.com
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/chiefs-work-out-rio-olympics-track-star-tre-houston/

 

The say speed kills, and the Kansas City Chiefs may be close to injecting a lot more of it. 

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Chiefs worked out Olympic track star Tre Houston, who represented Bermuda in the 200-meter dash in Rio.

Houston was born in the United States, however has no prior football experience. He ran a personal-best 20.42 to qualify for the Olympics, becoming the first Bermudan to run in the event in over 20 years. He would finish sixth in his heat with a time of 20.85.

The 26-year-old also runs in the 100-meters, however did not run the event at the Olympics. There, he has a personal best of 10.28 to go along with 6.79 in the 60-meter dash.  

Houston 10.28 100m, 20.42 200m, 6.79 60m. By comparison: Tyreek Hill: 10.19, 20.14, & 6.64 in those events.

....Chances are we this guy will never see the field, either for the Jets or Chiefs..........
