During the 2010 NFL Combine, ESPN reported that he ran a 4.22, which would have beaten Chris Johnson's NFL record fastest time of 4.24. However, NFL.com said he did not break the records, listing Holliday's times at 4.27 and 4.32.
He demonstrated his sprinting ability in the 100-meter dash at the 2007 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where he recorded 10.07 seconds in the final ahead of Walter Dix and second only to Tyson Gay. This qualified him for the 2007 World Championships in Athletics but he opted to not compete, preferring to begin the football season with the LSU Tigers. He continued to race, however, and reached the semi-finals in the 100 m at the 2008 United States Olympic Trials the following year.
Anyone think he can be KR and PR?
maybe jj can now focus more on becoming a better wr!
love the pick
Wow. He's pretty tiny - but if nobody gets a hand on him, size is irrelevant.

Hes fast, we've established that. Can he secure and hold on to the football?
It seems that he secures the football incredibly fast. While running fast he also manages to hold on to the football from what i've seen.
I dont remember a lot of fumbles while scouting him. It should be ok.
Goodbye to Andre Davis perhaps?
What I was thinking.

love the pick
I think that's the plan.
Probably my favorite pick of the draft. This guy is electric. I hope we can use him out of the backfield sometime this season. He can be matchup nightmare for other teams. Let's hope he can pick up the offense fast because he's a difference maker type of player.
I am guessing JJ still does the PR duties. Just guessing though.
Nope, Kubiak said Holliday will be the PR/KR and may have additional role down the line. But he will be our PR/KR
Just let me say this:
I EXPECT Andre Davis to be cut. He filled in admirably that one year. He had a couple good returns. But he is awful, awful, bad, awful, bad, bad, bad, bad, awful, crappy, bad, awful at returning kicks. AJ, KW, JJ, DA, TH wr depth in a box.
I watched a bunch of LSU games and this kid is a competitor! Nice pickup.
JJ, look over your shoulder. This kid is coming up hard and fast.
Let's not get too carried away here.
Here's JJ's nfl.com stats from 2009, stacked up against the entire LEAGUE:
ENTIRE NFL 2009:
(a) Jacoby Top 5 in punt return yards (50 yds. from being No. 1)
(b) Jacoby tied for No. 1 with 7 returns of 20+ yards
(c) Jacoby tied for No. 2 with 2 returns of 40+ yards
(d) Jacoby tied for No. 14 with about 9 other guys with 2 fumbles on punt returns
Receiving Stats:
(a) Jacoby is 28th in entire league with 6 TDs
(b) Noteworthy guys behind Jacoby and each receiver's TD total:
Santonio Holmes (5)
Calvin Johnson (5)
Terrell Owens (5)
Anquan Boldin (4)
(c) Jacoby had zero fumbles in the receiving stats.
The whole dissin' on JJ act is wearing thin. And it shows that when a guy gets labeled by hometown fans early on in his career, since he was a bit of a fumble machine early in his career here, that it's hard to shake the label.
If they decide to stick Doc Holliday in and return the ball, so be it. He does look VERY good. But I don't think Jacoby Jones is all that shabby either, as the stats for the whole league have indicated.
