10 Fastest NFL players: Tyreek Hill, DK Metcalf among top speedsters
Dec 10, 2024
Who is the fastest player in the NFL?
It's an oft-asked and fascinating question. And the beauty of it is, we don't have to guess.
With training camp in full swing for all 32 teams, FOX Sports Research decided to look at data from the 2023 season to answer this question.
Using NFL Next Gen Stats, we broke down this question into two parts. First, we listed the 10 fastest ball carriers (excluding repeat instances for players who cracked the list more than once), and then we listed the players who had the most appearances in the top 100 fastest plays of the season (offense, defense, and special teams). We included both the regular season and playoffs. Click here for full list
