Rookie Claims Veteran Is Faster | Chicago Bears News

Rookie Zavion Thomas, who once boasted the fastest 40-yard dash on the Bears, just dropped a bombshell: veteran Kalif “Lif” Raymond is actually faster. The 32-year-old Raymond, who was even released by his last team, now holds the top spot in speed according to Thomas — a claim that’s raising eyebrows and sparking debate about how the team evaluates speed. Thomas says he’s trying to be like Raymond, even predicting he’ll have five more years in the league because of his speed — but if Raymond’s truly faster, it begs questions about player assessments. Meanwhile, other players like Rome Odunze are weighing in, naming their own speed contenders, while Thomas himself battled injuries during camp. For now, Thomas is focused on learning from veterans, soaking up advice, and helping the Bears win their opener — starting with a 1-0 record.
