Football speed is usually measured in the 40 yard dash ( how fast a player can run 40 yards). A typical NFL halfback can run the 40 in about 4.5 seconds. College and high school will average 4.5 to 4.8. A very fast halfback will run between 4.3 and 4.4. A halfback's quickness is just as important as his speed but is harder to measure. Backs like Emmitt Smith and Amp Lee were not very fast but had exceptional quickness.

well a good 5.00 on your 40's can be decent for a fullback depending on your size but something to keep in mind is what style of fullback the coaches want. maybe coaches are gonna want a strong bulky guy that can block very good and is somewhat fast or a fast guy that's gonna be good at running the ball a little more it can all vary on the coaches desire but yes a good speed can be 5.00.
