Texas Longhorn D J Monroe debuts with an 89 Yard Kick-Off Return for a Touchdown!

[91gt306]

Looked like he caught the ball right at 10:05 and got to the endzone right about 9:55 after letting up some. You an clearly tell this video is not sped up. Quit hating and accept the fact that this kid is crazy fast.

[jamesgwooten]

I was there... He is that fast

[Dzeneth]

Damn ! That boy is FAST.

[jimob]

You can tell if it's sped up or not by timing your watch against the game clock...

[josephaper]

he is pretty damn fast

[wo020591kt]

i dont think its 9 seconds it looks a little over 10 seconds for him to run the 90 yards. he catches the ball right at 0:07 and steps in the endzone at 0;17

[MOBROOKS]

AWSOME!!

[tazman98ify]

it isnt sped up I used ma timer and its not...(TOO SERIOUS ABOUT MA LONGHORNZ)

[gt3corn]

People who are saying it was sped up are wrong. Even if it was, he still out ran everyone, so I know for a fast it was not.

[GoPreds95]

its not fake..dj's fastest forty was a 4.26 and slowest was a 4.48..his average is 4.36

[gking407]

0:19 = sonic boom from DJ's flyover

[HyDrOxXxToKeR]

angleton in the house get it dj

[mandovision]

lol. Guys, just look at the game clock. HE IS FAST. It takes 10 seconds, not 9. But He is still fast though.

[56BLT]

its not sped up look at the other players

[2500mar]

people say it is sped up.They must be drunk,cause announcers aren't that retarded to say:THOOOO---RRRR-TTTYYYYY----­FOOOOOOOOO-RRRRRR-TTTTT-EEEEE

if it was normal speed,how do you think he'd sound like.GOOD JOB!

[MrQueerby]

i know dj monroe im from angleton my brother went to school with him

[JCUBED7]

i went to high school with dj ha 

[JCUBED7]

I went to high school with him at angleton ha

[doodle20]

Damn he's fast!!!

[DumbPeopleAreFunny]

Wow the ignorant people who think this video was sped up apparently has never watched a UT football game. They have damn fast runners. This is clearly not sped up whatsoever. Watch the games live next season and you will see how fast some of those players can get. In fact, Texas goes up against Rice this Saturday for the first game. Watch it. 2:30p.m. Central on ESPN.

[KOOLCAT904]

if u watch the clock it is clearly 11 seconds from the time he touches it to the time he crossed the line

[kingpincmk123]

and to be honest it was 89 yard ppl not 90 he got it at the 11 lol

[256rcano]

wow yall are dumb if you think this video is sped up.....smh

[AtxRedempt1on]

its not sped up you idiots. I was at that game and watched him. hes unbelievably fast. deal with it and stop your bitching

[chanceryals1]

does anyone know what his number is going to be this year i think they changed it because they also changed goodwins #

[FuzzyPineapple1]

DJ Monroe is a beast



[deonroy979]

Leave my nigga alone we went to the same highschool and played on the same team my nigga is that fast dont hate go workout get ya weight up AT stand up

[bluejaymen]

reread everything i said...then tell me if i ever said that 4A and 5A have more athletic ability. you can't see a video is sped up and you can't read so i'm beginning to think youre just ignorant. hahaHAHAHhaha so you think adrenaline makes dj monroe faster than bolt? look at ur hand...then put it to ur face as hard as you can. i don't care how you look...but if you look like you sound...i'm sure u look hella silly.

[bluejaymen]

you sound like you look...STUPID. you obviously don't know anything about speed or football or dj. i played against and raced dj before...he's fast...but definitely not faster than whitney prevost...do ur research. he was 100M champion his freshman yr n that was only 4A..there are 5A's in TX. if he ran in a straight line...i'd say mayyybe it wasn't sped up. hopefully he'll stay outta trouble n keep gettin better n meet his high school teammate keith toston in the league.

[bluejaymen]

you sound like you look...STUPID. you obviously don't know anything about speed or football or dj. i played against and raced dj before...he's fast...but definitely not faster than whitney prevost...do ur research. he was 100M champion his freshman year...that was the only year he won the 100. if he ran in a straight line...i'd say mayyyybbeee but the fact that it wasn't a straight line and it took him 9 seconds to run 90 yards says it all.

[DBDVTV]

@bluejaymen 5A doesn't automatically make someone faster! I live in Texas I understand 4A and 5A. 4A and 5A classifications are based on enrollment numbers moron not on an individual's athletic ability! Once again, this video was not sped up. Have you ever heard of adrenaline? And how the hell do you know how I look. Time for you to come up out of your mommies basement for fresh air!

[kingpincmk123]

@bluejaymen im not gonna get into who faster then who but whats does haveing u race against him have anything to do with comparing to another person. how about this instead of going back and forth about this pull up uil records on the races he has been in of the other guy and see who fas fastest times cuz unless they both line up and go at it ur stupid for thinking by racing one of them means anything. and yes its been done time and time again running 90 yards in 90 seconds.

[madeulook007]

@bluejaymen "dj is not faster than whitney prevost?" LOL i know for a fact that dj can beat prevost bcuz i seen it w/ my own eyes. dj & whitney were n the same district n high school so they had 2 run against each other 1 yr @ district + @ regionals 2yrs straight. dj won the gold @ state n 2006 & prevost came n 2nd, but prevost won n 2007 (dj had a pulled hamstring). dj won again n 2008 but prevost was already gone 2 baylor

The main diff is, prevost is a track guy & dj is a football player

[madeulook007]

@bluejaymen Prevost trains 4 track 24/7, Dj plays football + runs track (even though he gave it up 2 go straight football). Prevost tried football but it didnt work out...(mainly bcuz the coach tried 2 force him n2 being a wr on a run-1st team + prevost never really wanted 2 play football himself)

[shsraiderband]

@bluejaymen It took him about 10.15 seconds to run the eighty-nine yards. He was unopposed throughout the run and his path was also largely straight. For an athlete who was a track star throughout high school, this speed is perfectly believable.

[TheLarsson454]

@bluejaymen bs

[Thekingcmk]

@bluejaymen comparing track speed and football speed is stupid period. im not going to scroll down and read every post to see who ur responding to but never compare the 2, its rare to find a track star run football fast, track runners just run ina straight line with nothing to think about except run fast as you can, there are many factors a football player has to think about and play in he just cant run straight fast as he can. so if u meant to compare someone clarify a lil more just saying

[bluejaymen]

you a retard if u think this video is not sped up. there is no damn way he ran 90 yards in 9 seconds with football equipment on and not even in a straight line. he is fast....but he's not bolt

[DBDVTV]

@bluejaymen This video has NOT been sped up! Deal with it. HE IS THAT FAST!

[TheSww12]

@bluejaymen yeah he ran 90 yards in nine seconds thats on the game clock..its not sped up but 90 yards is not the same as 90 meters if your talkin about usain bolt bolt ran 9.38 hundred meters so its way different than a 9 second 90 yards

[redbull21monster]

@bluejaymen lol ur a retard. it wasnt 9 seconds it was like 10 plus marquise qoodwin did the same thing except from like 95 so just shut up kthanksbye

[TheBestMusic356]

@bluejaymen he is mother fucking fast! hes back so deal with it

[the06luvaboi]

@bluejaymen you understand that 90 yards is a shorter distance than 90 meters right

[Maggot23100]

@bluejaymen haha now u look dumb

[TexasNightmare210]

@bluejaymen If the video was sped up, dont you think the announcers audio would be sped up as well? The kids just that fast.

[adrianwarfield]

@bluejaymen it actually took him 10.43 seconds from the time he caught the ball and crossed the goal line.

[forgotaboutbre]

@bluejaymen I see 90 in 10 seconds, but 90 in 9 would not be surprising. Watch the in game clock. 9-10 seconds of game time.

[mccoy4heisman]

@bluejaymen it's not sped up just Texas is always one of the most underrated speed teams in the nation

[44andrewt]

@bluejaymen If the video was sped up dumb ass, the timer would be sped up...there isnt a way for him to speed the video itself without having to speed the timer..the video and timer would be in sync at all times..

[DirectShot999]

@bluejaymen 90 yards in 9 seconds isn't that hard. Meters is what Bolt ran in, and 100 meters is about 110 yards. This guy effectively would've ran 100m in 11 seconds, with football pads and holding onto the football. He's a 100m champion, so I'm deducing that his normal 100m time is in the low 10s, around 10.15 or 10.20, which would even out perfectly to 11 seconds. There you go :D.

And for the record, I'm not a Texas fan. My team beat Texas two years ago to hoist the Crystal Football.

[tjsiemion]

@DirectShot999 Your team barely beat a true freshman. 4 quarters of Colt and the SEC would only have 4 of the last 5. Everyone knows it...somewhere deep inside, you do too

[DirectShot999]

@tjsiemion I just fed Texas a compliment bro, and I get this back?

[kingvitamin88]

@bluejaymen You're confusing yards with meters. Trust me this is possible because it happened. If it was sped up you don't think the announcers would sound strange?

[Dzeneth]

@bluejaymen C'mon, Guys are running the 40 in less than 4.5 all over the world, plus he didn't even made a fucking cut, he just runs straight and turns the jets on !

[FightOn4Evr]

Funny the fastest person on the the field that day was wearing a white uniform, Luther Ambrose #22 for ULM, he's probably second only to Florida's Jeff Demps as one of the fastest players in college football.

[epigrenada]

This is not sped up. His burst when hits around the 26-27 yl @ 0:11 is ridiculous so it's easy to see why someone would think so. Kid's just freakishly fast.

[lloyd45]

grew up in danbury and saw dj play several times. I also met him at the texas all star game. Seemed like a shy quite kid. Congrats to him on his success and future success.

And the video is def sped up.

[guitgod1]

man that kid is fast, he just needs to learn the college game and he will be a beast!

[4ltwr]

I was right next to his parents when this happened...it was pretty cool

[jrod05]

airjordan23x: Tony Dorsett was like 5'10" maybe 5'11" and about 175 to 180 pounds. He was one of the greatest RB's ever on both levels...It's not always about size

[sstx44]

i used to play football in my front yard with DJ. i knew he would make in at least one sport. i figured it would be basketball though!

[Cbagpipes]

Damn he was movin!

[TexasMade20]

All I can say is thank God he's back. Bama has allowed a good bit of return yardage this year and this guy will add to it, please don't waste your talent bro. Ramonce Taylor definetely did and he was probably faster than DJ ..

[kenen29]

Yeah man, Texas is going to dominate Bama in the kicking game, with Monroe and Goodwin, the two fastest players on Texas, Bama wont be able to stop them.

[airjordan23x]

again u proved my point hes not a true running back at all.... hes called a newly evolved specialty back..... yeha and like u said if hes lined up as a RB all he can do is catch screen passes basically a new form of a wide out... a real RB hits the gaps hard between the guards and tackles bro

[Qnz1kim]

Go Miami Hurricanes. They will be in the National Championship next year guarantee it. Serious contenders watch out.

[micmac99]

DJ Monroe please don't throw your talent away. You are representing the University of Texas, there's something to be said for that.

[ltwop89]

aww so jealous.

[ThaWildcat2012]

@micmac99 also reppin' the AT, "whats that" Angleton, Texas "where is that" look it up on da map

[chrispward07]

If you watch the game clock you can tell its not sped up.

[jriada]

Better not turn into another Ramonce. What a waste of talent. Hope DJ makes better decisions.

[FSUfrenzy911]

Got arrested for drunk driving.

[kenen29]

I saw this dude in a high school playoff game two years ago, and he ruturned a kick for a TD in that game to. He also played on both sides of the ball at RB and at CB. But I think hes going to be used as a RB at Texas.

[airjordan23x]

a running back!?!?!? please stop commenting on sports videos.... u just said that a 5'9" 170 lbs. wide out would be used as a running back that was a joke right?

[kenen29]

Actually no, it wasn't a joke. I've seen Monroe in the backfeild lined up right next to McCoy when there in the shot gun, I dont know about you, but im pretty sure thats called a running back. Have you ever watched a Texas Longhorn game? They dont use him alot at RB, because he's mainly a kick returner, but every know and then coach Brown puts him at RB. He's only ran the ball like 5 times this year though, and whenever he his at running back he usually catches balls out of the back field.

[Th0roughBreed]

he played a lot of rb lol

[Gman3171]

he is fast as hell

[Kjizzle03]

damn...he made that shit look too easy...I would have liked to see him get tested at DB but I can understand why Mack put him on the offensive side of the ball

[TexasRichie]

Ya the video wasnt sped up, i played football with him at angleton and every game when we returned a kickoff or punt with him it turned into this, i also ran track with him and he's just crazy fast, i talked to him the other day and he's supposed to be comin bak here to angleton this christmas so ill ask him wut position he's goin for, reciever or halfback

[cameradude09]

i took pics of dj in highschool..hes a cool dude and amazingly fast..espiecally when he was in track

[Longhorn6595]

he had a pretty big return today at wyoming. not a td though

[cbbabe09]

i know dj personally. went to high school with him. easily one of the fastest ive ever seen. won state as a sophomore. crazy. i did beat him in a race in our swimming pool one day in athletics but never in a race. he is good at every sport. i played soccer and he got by me. he is so quick nooone can stop him. noone!

[micmac99]

Why can't Arizona do that??? (We actually might this year as we are trying to beef up our running attack.)

Hook em' Cats

BEAR DOWN

[Big12Longhorn]

man hes fast

[patient451]

Solution to our running game woes? I think yes.

[Tru2DaGame23]

he'll be the starting RunningBack by the OU game

[TexasMade20]

Im betting that will be awarded to Tre' Newton but I'm sure DJ will be split out at receiver or in the 3rd back spot. Vondrell is finally holding his own though, so idk. Im just glad we have backs to talk about. McGee, Whittaker, who I havent seen much of, Newton, and Monroe. and don't forget, we have people stepping up at receiver (Buckner, Chiles) and they have the Wild Horn, so OU can look forward to another L this year.

[NaTeWHO]

Shot out of a cannon! Marquis Goodwin is supposed to be just as fast FYI. They both need the ball A LOT!

[loglew]

I was at the game..the kid ran away from everyone,,,he had some good runs at RB too, He didn't run away from contact either. He's gonna be a rock star....

[WestheLegend]

good golly miss molly, that kid can scoot, imma FSU fan so im lookin for ANYBODY to beat UF, and since i dont think FSU is gonna come close this year, Texas is goin to the NC game, mccoy should win the heisman, hopefully he can kick the shit outta urban meyers bitch ass, im jumpin on the bandwagon, go longhorns

[nuddin90]

remind of jamaal charles... :)

[burkewillis]

I also thought it was sped up, but then I focused on all the other players on the field, who looked like they were going at ordinary speed.

[oklsuxlonghorns]

cool, but the video seems like it's been sped up...

[DBDVTV]

Watching it I can kinda see what you mean but I did not speed this up.

[shsraiderband]

Definitely not sped up. D.J. Monroe was a Texas state sprint champion when he was in high school. He's just fast.

[gslayer5432]

@oklsuxlonghorns yea look at the time running off on the scoreboard...man is just that fast

[xtexasxfightx]

@oklsuxlonghorns

it has not been sped up. i was there, DJ is one of the two fastest guys on the team, along with Marquise Goodwin.
