Speed Race

Speed kills, and there is plenty of it around the MLS. This event could be an endline to endline, or it could be a reflection of the old “suicides” drill, endline to the edge of the 18, back to the endline, to midfield, back to the endline, etc. No matter the distance, it would be exciting to watch these speedsters show off their pace without having to worry about dribbling a ball.

Selected competitors:

Dom Dwyer

Fabian Castillo

Kekuta Manneh

David Accam

Defenders everywhere would have nightmares with this level of speed all on the pitch at the same time.

My predicted winner:

Kekuta Manneh
