Even wilder than the time itself was learning that Smith apparently wasn’t running full speed and was visibly upset when his camp called him to shut it down after posting his first time because Nolan wanted to run it even faster.

“I wasn’t even running full speed.”

Smith’s time bested NFL running backs like CMC and Saquon Barkley and even WRs like Stefon Diggs.
