Lol, not that I know of. He's just very cocky, reminds me of a mini TO.

Do I see a possible Colt to Bolt connection in the Redskins future?

I have to admit his speed does intrigue me but let's face it looking at past sprinters turned WRs, the odds of him becoming a great WR are very slim. Ron Brown is the only one I can remember that was decent to good.

Another thing to consider is the NFL contract set up. If this guy is young with a very bright track and field future ahead of him with the potential to become the greatest sprinter in history with all the potential endorsements and fame that could follow (yes, U.S. and International companies can market him) why would he want to get his body beat to hell in the NFL with a contract that has only a modest signing bonus guaranteed compared to what he could make in future endorsements and still be able to walk at 50? Plus the man has been a sprinter all his young adult life, he has never played football. This in his world would be taking a huge risk/gamble.

More than likely in my opinion he would stick with track even if offered an NFL contract. He would be wise to do so.
