Cannon could and would play today. Give him the coaching , training, and suppliments of today...he'd STILL be a star. But comparing anyone from the old days to today without comparable training can't be done. For one, Cannon's talent was purely natural. Today's athletes are groomed and trained from grade school.

Well stated.

Cannon was 6'2", 208 lbs of 4.4-4.5 lightning and thunder when everyone else was 5'8" 155.

Want a comparison?

If Dylan Moses projects on track... and enters college as a shifty and powerful stud back at 6'4 245 lbs that makes everyone forget who LF was... that's what Cannon was in his day.
