Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson is one of the best in the league, just don’t tell Seattle Seahawks’ Richard Sherman. As an elite cornerback, he is tasked with covering some of the best wide receivers in the league.

While appearing on the Dan Patrick Show on Tuesday, he talked about guarding some of the game’s best receivers. In particular about some of the fastest, like Washington Redskins’ DeSean Jackson and Miami Dolphins’ Mike Wallace.

He had an interesting term to explain their speed.

“The fastest receiver I ever went against is Mike Wallace — by far,” said Peterson. “Him and DeSean Jackson have what I call crackhead speed. The speed is hard to explain because those guys are so fast and you have to be on your A-Game when you go against them.”

“Wait, crackhead speed?” Patrick asked. “That’s not an official term.”

“Yeah, it’s not an official term, it’s just something we say back in the neighborhood back home,” Peterson replied. “When you’re really, really fast you call it crackhead speed. … I don’t know what it is, what those guys were drinking coming up, but those guys definitely have a different speed than some of the other guys around the league.”
