'Noles with Nat: News and analysis surroudning Florida State football from our Insider's blog
How fast is freshman tailback Dalvin Cook? It depends. How fast do you think Karlos Williams is?
Both Florida State running backs, that were each five-star recruits, have previously been reported to run a sub-4.5 second 40 yard dash.
So, to answer the initial question, the pair of athletic running backs decided to race on Tuesday at Doak Campbell Stadium.
On Tuesday, it appears that Cook (who is on the left in the video below), who is listed at 6-foot, 200 pounds was a hair faster than Williams, who is 6-foot-1, 219 pounds.
The good news for Seminole fans is that both players will have an opportunity to show off that speed throughout the 2014 season.
With Devonta Freeman and James Wilder Jr. beginning their professional careers, there will be plenty of carries to go around.
Williams, who switched from defense to offense early last season, brings the most experience at the position.
Playing mostly late in games last year, the senior rushed for 748 yards, averaging 8.2 yards per carry and scoring 11 touchdowns.
Sophomore running backs Mario Pender and Ryan Green also have elite speed and will compete for playing time.
