Kansas football: Jason Bean registered unreal miles per hour mark in touchdown run vs. Oklahoma

Kansas football signal caller Jason Bean proved that he is one of the fastest players in the country with his ridiculous speed on a touchdown run last week.

Jason Bean might not have been at his best against Oklahoma last week, but he made two game-changing plays in the second half — a 37-yard pass for a 4th-down conversion to Lawrence Arnold, and a 38-yard touchdown run to put the Kansas Jayhawks up 26-21.

And now, college football fans recently learned that he made history on said touchdown run.

According to Reel Analytics, Bean reached 22.4 miles per hour while he strode into the end zone. If you’re wondering what that number means, it suggests he is faster than NFL stars such as former Kansas City Chief Tyreek Hill, whose 22.0 miles per hour mark leads the league this season.

According to NFL Analytics, the last player to surpass Bean’s 22.4 miles per hour feat was Raheem Mostert in 2020. He is said to have reached speeds of 22.7 and 23.1 miles per hour that season. Even then, the fact that Bean is being mentioned with speedsters of that caliber shows just how swift the North Texas transfer is.

Oh yeah, and we forgot to mention this part — he did this as a 6-foot-3 quarterback.

Unfortunately for the Kansas football team, Bean can’t utilize his legs as often as they would like him to. They virtually have no backup to fill in for him if he were to get injured. This is because Jalon Daniels has been held out for the past four games as he continues to battle a lingering back injury.

Aside from option plays and designed quarterback runs, Bean typically shies away from contact or does not run at all. However, offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki should try to get him in the open field more often, because he is absolutely lethal in that aspect of the game.

And here’s a bonus reaction from Jayhawk great Aqib Talib.
