The thing w Ronnie is that he didn't have just 4.3 speed (which he didn't), but
the myth when he was in school was that he had sub-4.3 speed. Which wasn't close to true. There are guys in the NFL who are that fast, of course, but Ronnie wasn't one of them.
Like a lot of special "speed" guys, Ronnie's finesse set him apart probably more than his speed (which was very good — sub 4.5 speed is of course very good speed). His ability to turn it off & on & to take hard angles without breaking his gait or running form seemingly at all — it caused a lot of defenders just as fast as him — to get stuck in the mud & blown by.
But of course you already know that. You remember full well how he made it look easy in the open field. As if he were only going half-speed (which was really more illusion than reality). His long strides were pretty unusual for the type of runner he was.

Tyler Algeier may be the best of the bunch of them- Faster than Jamaal and Harvey, as powerful as any, and durable.

Yes, saw him in person many times. I remember his run against Tulane when he split the two dbs like they were BYU dads.
