RB Ronald Darby has legendary speed

Posted Dec 29, 2010
Ronald Darby's speed is legendary in Oxon Hill, Md. Darby's wheels are a cartoonish display of whirring joints and knees that remind some of the Road Runner. Darby consistently runs the 40-yard dash in 4.3 seconds, making him one of the fastest athletes in the country. He made stops at North Carolina, Virginia and numerous prospect camps with the same result: a 4.4 40 followed by a scholarship offer. By the time he was done, he had 18 scholarships from places like Notre Dame, Florida, West Virginia, Georgia Tech and Rutgers. (Irish Illustrated)
