John Grant turns on the afterburners

John Grant

 John who?

John Grant...just under two metres tall, more than 100kg and has speed to burn.

That's not just anyone he's running away from either. The fly-half is Waratahs squad member Ben Volavola and the fullback coming across in cover is Aussie Sevens representative Paul Asquith.

Neither are slouches.

But Grant's pace shouldn't be too surprising.

Here he is finishing second to his then-Eastwood teammate Lachlan Turner in the Gatorade fastest footballer in Australia race.

He left the likes of Jarryd Hayne, Greg Inglis, Josh Morris and Ben Barba in his wake.
