On Thursday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Jamel Dean posed a simple question: Which NFL team could compose the best 4×100-meter relay team using their fastest defensive back, linebacker, running back and wide receiver?
Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay said his team “would easily” win, but Jacksonville Jaguars receiver and return specialist Jamal Agnew likes Team Duval’s chances.

Agnew has plenty of confidence in his speed. At the Pro Bowl this year, he told Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins that he thinks he’s the fastest player in the NFL and could beat Hill in a race.
The rest of the team picked out by Agnew can certainly turn on the jets too. Chris Claybrooks said his 40-yard dash was timed at 4.25 seconds ahead of the 2020 NFL draft. Foyesade Oluokun reportedly ran a 4.48 at his pro day in 2018, and Travis Etienne Jr. was timed in the low 4.4s in 2021.
We’ll never find out how the Jaguars would fare in that kind of contest, but Agnew’s right — Jacksonville’s quartet can fly.
