Is Banks really that fast? I know he's quick but that doesn't always translate to straight speed.

Straight speed is not the issue in football. It's can the receiver get off the line for one and how fast can they get in and out of their breaks.
AA and Banks might be faster at the 100 yrd dash but Ocho might be faster on the field simply due to his ability to get in and out of his cuts faster.
In any event it's nice they are having friendly banter but I'd rather see the production on the field. Wage a stat war or something. Who gets the most yrds and catch's or yrds per catch. I'm sure there are a ton of people who don't play football who could match up well on the 100 yrd dash.
