Demps has freakish talent

ESPN's Bruce Feldman released his top 10 College Football Freaks of 2011 yesterday and Jeff Demps is listed No. 1 because of his incredible speed (10.1 in the 100). You can access the entire article if you have ESPN Insider. Here is an excerpt from Feldman's story:

"Demps -- who led the Gators in rushing last season with 551 yards despite missing some time due to a foot injury -- arrived at Florida weighing 170 pounds, and is expected to play this fall at 188. Gators strength coach Mickey Marotti says the back can squat "an ungodly amount of weight." And despite the added pounds, Demps has gotten faster. "He was a 10.1 guy, is now a 9.9 guy and probably will be a 9.8 guy," said Marotti, who adds that Demps has really improved his acceleration."

Rounding out the list are:

2. LSU RB Mike Ford - benches 435; vertical leap of 42"

3. Texas WR Marquis Goodman - long jumps 26 feet, 93/4 inches

4. Syracuse WR Dorian Graham - at 185 lbs he can hang clean 341 and runs a 4.31 40

5. Troy LB Kanorris Davis - at 203 pounds he benches 225 nearly 50 times; vertical leap of 42"; runs 4.4 40
