I had no idea how to play. I didn't know a tackle from a safety. But the coaches saw my speed from the beginning. They put me at running back, and people had a tough time catching me. Which, Drummond adds graciously, they've never run, but he's sure they'd be competitive.
Speed is always an advantage.
If you get your routs done quickly, you can beat the defender. Kevin Thompson and Rashard Casey more time to do what they have to do. That blazing speed has been on prime display the past two weeks. With starting split end Corey Jones injured, Drummond got his first collegiate starts. All this from a guy who just moved to receiver last year, and was listed third on the depth chart entering this season.
