Ballard is one of the fastest backs we've ever had, I don't really care what a stopwatch says. Apparently when he put on pads and was carrying a football he didn't lose even a split second of speed that he had. I say that because he never got run down from behind. It was almost silly watching WF guys trying to run him down in the MCB in Vic's last game. Couldn't catch him. Most of our other RBs we've had I've seen get run down. Heck, Perk got run down from behind repeatedly over the years.
