Relevant to both Joejuan and Shurmur

it is a fascinating discussion about these great athletes who are not fast respectively. Some great examples were Jerry Rice, Tom Brady, Gretzky, Pele, etc. they specifically called out these guys as intuition and creativity as the factors for their success and not raw talent. That the NFL puts waaayyyy too much stock in numbers and not intangibles. Rice spoke that he wasn’t fast at all. Gretzky said he could not skate fast.

Two others that come to mind are Bruno and has Judo/wrestling background and Jordan Matthews who wasn’t a speedster, yet set the SEC receiving record
