A few commentators last year mentioned that Carol was the fastest dolphin, is this true or were they just trying to fire Wallace up?
On the Finsiders he was asked and said that he had always been the fastest player on every team he had been on until this year. I think that Mike Wallace beat him in a one on one foot race. But that is no disgrace to be beaten by Wallace. Nolan Carroll is way faster than most realize. He lacks the natural skills that Grimes has, but Carroll definitely improved a lot with Grimes and Patterson around him.
People forget that one of Nolan's first duties on the team was the gunner on Special Teams - he was the player tripped on the sideline by the Jets assistant. The gunner has to get downfield very fast.
