But just how fast are they?
Well, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson could only describe their type of speed as “crackhead speed” when on The Dan Patrick Show.
From The Big Lead:
"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.”"
It’s good to know that even Peterson doesn’t really know what “crackhead speed” means, because I can’t even begin to formulate a guess on its definition.
Regardless, Jackson and Wallace are extremely fast and it makes them difficult to cover.
Jackson has caught 40 passes for 819 yards and four touchdowns this season. Wallace has 44 grabs for 557 yards and six scores.
