<p>College Coaches love "speed". Speed is an aspect of football that is so key, and yet so infrequently written about. There are various ways that teams can use speed to their advantage: attacking upfield fast, getting shots away quickly after turning the ball over, or moving the ball quickly to pull the opposition out of position. This is why it is the most asked-about trait that college coaches look for in recruits. Can the recruit move?? Does he have a motor? How fast can he go sideline to sideline? How fast is his straight line vertical speed? etc...</p>
