Its crazy how much emphasis is put on the 40 when 2 tenths of a second is only about a yard or two over a 40 yard span. If the fastest runner on the team makes one hesitation in a dead sprint, he is essentially as fast as the slowest man on the team . I guess it pays off if the runner is already in the open field though....and its fun to watch.

2 tenths of a second is the difference between an entire arm or just one hand tackling someone. It matters

Yep^^^

Look at the gif of Clowney for the first 10-12 yards he is with with the fastest guy from the previous day. Throw in his wing span and a potential 6 yard gain doesn't go to the house.

Dude in another forum said Manziel is the fastest qb in the draft. From what I'm seeing/reading he's the 4th fastest. Not that it matters, to me lateral movement is more important for a qb. He has that in abundance.

James Wilder is not impressive. Dude moves like a friggin robot.

IDK how he would've been at MLB (like they wanted him to play @ FSU). Like I said yesterday, he should just go ahead, throw on 10-15 more lbs and go the Greg Jones route and move to fullback. Was never a burner, runs upright a lot, isn't shifty and looks for contact. He wouldn't make it 4 years in the league with his style.

Which blows my mind because Duke was a man amongst boys in highschool..and had pedigree...breh had Lakeland h.s. lookin like a all girls school in a playoff game,folks fightin' n walkin out in the 3rd quarter and they stay at powerhouse status

I thought he had next! *Adds him to personal L list next to Drag-on, GameGear and Ron Mercer*

In high school, I ran a 4.6

The last time I tested my 40 was about 3 years ago.Mind you, I haven't played ANY sports in about 6 years.No jogging or none of that.

I was tagging along with my brother who was preparing for some football league.Him and a few of his boys would meet up at the local community college to work out and run sprints.

I mostly sat in the bleachers or chucked the football around a lil bit.

One of his boys brought their pops with him and he started making them run 40 times.

Watching them nikkaz run got my competitive juices flowing nh.

The nikkaz pops was kinda arrogant, though.When I asked that nikka to time me, he looked at me like....I guess because I wasn't participating in any of the other drills.He might've thought I was a slacker or some shyt.

I'm thinking "fukk what he's on" standing 40 yards away, just waitng on my signal.

GO!!

Took off and just felt the right out the breaks.nikkaz on the sideline looking at me like i'm in danger or some shyt.

Pops didn't even yell out my time as I passed the 40 yard mark.nikka just looked at me like..said "sheeeiiiiiitttttt" and walked away.I had to jog up next to that nikka just to see my time.Still with the face, he flipped his wrist and showed me the stop watch

5.01




It wasn't that I was over weight(only weighed 180 pounds on a 6'3 frame) I just wasn't doing any physical activity.I'm quite sure I can get that down to a 4.7 if I wanted to.Even then, I've always been faster in pads anyways
