Las Vegas Raiders’ wide receiver Tre Tucker has flashed since being a third-round draft pick in 2023 and has shown this season he can be a difference maker at times.
Tucker’s game, of course, starts with hi blazing speed. The man is fast.
How fast?
Well, according to NFL NextGen Stats (via NFL analyst Nate Tice), the metrics show that Tucker is the fastest player in the NFL regardless of position.
Based on NFL NextGen Stats’
average speed rates, according to Tice, Tucker’s was clocked at 15 Miles Per Hour on 40 percent of his plays last season. No player had a faster average rate. Also, according to Tice, Tucker’s average speed rate was 13.42 MPH.
We all knew Tucker could go, but, wow, is he a blazer.
Al Davis would like Tre Tucker; a lot.
