Titans' Ryan Stonehouse is faster than some of your favorite players

Originally posted on A to Z Sports | By Evan Winter | Last updated 10/15/23

The first half hasn't gotten off to the best start for the Tennessee Titans and one of the lowlights is when Baltimore Ravens wideout Devin Duvernay returned a punt for 70-yards in the second quarter.

It should've been a touchdown, but Titans punter Ryan Stonehouse was able to chase Duvernay down and force him out of bounds at the Titans 17. It ultimately saved four points, as the Titans defense proceeded to hold the Ravens to a field goal.

Stonehouse pulled off the move using a good angle, but it's his apparently underrated speed that really showed out during the play. Plenty of people noticed, as well:

Stonehouse's top speed was officially clocked at 19.73 miles per hour, per NFL's Next Gen Stats. He nearly matched Duvernay's top speed of 19.82 MPH.

Again, Duvernay is a wide receiver. And Stonehouse is a punter.

Devin Duvernay’s top speed: 19.82 mph

Ryan Stonehouse’s top speed: 19.76 mph

Yes, Tennessee’s punter is an 85 speed on Madden.

I'm sure there are plenty of other players he could beat in a foot race, as well.
