[edit] Dis-info

• Speight was never a "Pro" football player. He played College football for Morgan State University.

These are three articles in reference to that.

Former College player turned Actor pretty much.

I'm kinda disappointed in the (lack of) information on this page so I think I'm gonna spruce it up a bit.

• Well, two of those articles are the same thing, so, uh...

Anyways, about the "Pro" football thing, I'm finding conflicting information about Speight's actual career. His personal page states that he played a season with them, but an ESPN article contradicts that information stating that he signed but the USFL league died before he got a chance to play.

So, technically he was a player I guess. The info is ambiguous in my opinion, seeing that the claim he "played" is on his personal page (which reads more like a resumé), which is why I view it as skeptical.

[edit] 40-yard Time of 4.23????

I'm sorry, "according to Speight" is not a reference citation. I'll go out on a limb and say that 4.23 for a man his size is impossible. 4.3 is considered nearly superhuman. I'm deleting this garbage. KyuzoGator 19:48, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
