Well obviously he couldn't run the 100m faster than Bolt, no. But then he isn't starting from the ground either. 
I'd reckon some footballers (not ours) would give bolt a run for his money from a running start though, e.g. bolt's anchor leg WR is 8.6
Top speeds in the 100m is something like 10-20 meters, they don't maintain that, so the max speeds here will be over a very short distance which is why they seem odd.
If these numbers weren't crazy, achieving these speeds with the ball is more remarkable.
