In that other thread that has become a shit show the video had one play that showed how FAST Perry was. I had forgotten all about that part of his game.


then check out the 13 second mark of this video- WARNING!- the Song for this video is terrible. I mean OMFG its bad!

but check out Perry jumping at 0:13 , wow.

"One way to shut everyone up was to become an athletic marvel, and that's exactly what William turned into. He could do flips off the pool's diving board, could throw down a 360-degree dunk in basketball and could out-run some of the fleetest members of the football team. During practice one day, coach Eddie Buck said, "I want all my fastest guys to line up for a 100-yard dash.'' A couple of wide receivers, a couple of running backs and a defensive back stepped forward -- soon joined by William.

"What're you doing?'' Buck asked his 295-pound nose tackle.

"You said you wanted your fastest guys, didn't you?'' William said.


William eventually timed out as the sixth-fastest on the team."

So I'm wondering if that translates to a 4.79 ish 40 yd time nowadays ? Whatever it was he could get to his top speed quick for a behemoth. Thats why he could jump onto tables with that burst at 330

I remember him boxing with M. Bol when celebrity boxing was the rage. Both were so out of shape that the ref kept saying if they didn't start throwing punches they wouldn't get paid.

That probably ended the whole celebrity boxing fad. For that I thank him.
