Collums thinks that regardless of West’s 40-yard dash times, it’s his game speed that will surprise people the most.
“When he opens up,” Collums said, “he’s going to run by people. People don’t really understand how fast he is until they see him breaking one down the sideline. We’d get him matched up with a mike linebacker, throw him the ball and within two steps he’d have accelerated by the guy.”
It’s those traits that piqued the Chiefs’ interest, as West said he got a personal phone call from Chiefs running backs coach Eric Bienemy.
“He told me he liked my speed and catching,” West said. “He also said what really caught his eye was my footwork and my pass blocking.”
