No he is not even close to the best sprinter in this country. If we go just based on the info we know he would be borderline scholarship candidate for most D1 schools. He has a moderate college level 100m. A coach would look at him as someone who could definitely do the 50 and 60. After a year of tearing his training down and doing it like a sprinter maybe the 100 and some hurdles. With only 12.6 scholarships per team there would be debate on him for sure. So if someone wanted to take a chance on him he could get a spot and I think someone would. That means he barely makes into the 5000 or so D1 college track and field athletes in the USA every year. Compared to the 120-130 that represent the USA every 4 years.
Trying to subjectively measure his closeness to be an Olympic level vs the other sprinters closeness to being an NFL wide receivers is virtually impossible. In the end DK is years of training from being an Olympic sprinter and given that same time at least some of them would be able to develop the skills necessary to become an NFL receiver. Given everyone’s age and choices to this point it would be difficult for DK or the sprinters to convince anyone to really give them a shot. So it’s all kinda irrelevant anyway. To be honest I’m getting bored of this topic at this point. So I leave the rest to all of you. Good luck and have fun.
