I googled it and you were right. Sproles has a 4.49 and Reggie a 4.33 in the 40..

On a track. Game speed in pads I'll say it's closer. And I'll take his brain speed too.

But Sproles has what Reggie didn't. An understanding that you need to run north/south. He has instincts for finding the gaps and lanes or at least processes faster on the field.

Sproles knows not to run out in the street in front of that truck...Reggie had to stop and think about it. Sproles hits the creases HARD and can shed arm tackles. Sproles gets his yards quickly and is built with a low center of gravity. Worth every penny.
