The Indianapolis Colts have re-signed Matt Giordano, a safety whom most football fans have probably never heard of, but who I think is the NFL's fastest player. Take a look at the acceleration he shows in this video:
That was an interception that Giordano turned into an 83-yard touchdown in the Colts' opener against the Saints last season, and once he broke into the open field, no one even got close to him. And Giordano almost caught Devin Hester from behind in the Super Bowl. If you can gain ground on Hester, you're ridiculously fast.
Giordano's 40-yard dash times coming out of Cal in 2005 were good but not great, but on the field, I haven't seen a faster player in the NFL in the last couple of years.
No contract details have been released, but Giordano is believed to have signed the one-year, $927,000 tender offer the Colts gave him as a restricted free agent.
