While a group of reporters surrounded wide receiver/return specialist Yamon Figurs yesterday to talk to him after being activated from the physically-unable-to-perform list, running back Willis McGahee walked by and asserted his claim to Figurs' title as the fastest player on the team. "Right now, I am faster than him," McGahee blurted out as he walked past the small crowd to the gymnasium. "Hey, don’t believe that," insisted Figurs, who underwent surgery on his right foot during the offseason. Figurs was then asked if he could still run a 4.3 in the 40. "Yeah, probably even faster," Figurs said. "4.2 consistently."
