Hall of Fame receiver says Branch was “fastest ever”

if it’s one thing Isaac Bruce knows, it’s speed.

As part of the “Greatest Show on Turf,” the LA Rams Hall of Fame receiver assaulted record books and opposing defenses during his 16-year NFL career. But he noted one player in particular who didn’t play in his era as one of the best to ever play the game.

When asked who the fastest wide receiver he had ever seen was, Bruce did not hesitate and said Colorado Buffaloes alum and All-Pro Cliff Branch.

“They weren’t really throwing the ball up and down the field like that during his era, but (Branch) did make a huge, huge dent, in terms of receiving yards when he played,” Bruce recently told Betway Insider.
