Who are the 10 fastest players in the NFL Next Gen Stats era?

Next Gen Stats was adopted in 2016 and has been used to track various NFL analytics, primarily regarding speed.

This allows us to analyze the fastest ball carriers in the league, and is defined as showing "the maximum speed, measured in miles per hour (MPH), a player achieves on a given play when carrying the ball on offense (rusher, passer or receiver) or special teams (punt or kick returner)."

After reeling in the pass, Turpin exploded downfield for a 64-yard touchdown, hitting 22.36 mph in doing so. It ended up being the Cowboys' only touchdown in an eventual 34-10 loss, but Turpin's scoring play marked the fastest time recorded by a Dallas player in the Next Gen Stats era.

A Week 15 game between two teams with a losing record turned into a high-octane offensive smackdown, exemplified by Cooks' sizzling, second-quarter touchdown for the New Orleans Saints. On the second play of the drive, Drew Brees found an open Cooks, who snuck behind the Arizona Cardinals secondary at 22.40 mph, for a 65-yard
