That's good. Hope he gets his business in order. Forgot about him. Found some numbers on him ran a 4.35 40 yard dash. We need depth at corner.

Imagine if other stats were recorded as inaccurately as 40 times lol. Lets say for some players we will call 2 feet a yard instead of 3 feet.

All of the sudden DJ has 2338.5 yds rushing this season 8.4 yds per carry lol. Inaccurate statistics are pointless. I dont understand why a 40 is even mentioned if its complete bullshit.

I understand that you just read it from the article gabe.

High schoolers 40 times are frequently faster than NFL Combine times. By the time they reach the Combine, those players have put on 40+ lbs from their high school days. Weight is a speed killer. Just because that 40 time is fast, doesn't make it wrong.

Hand-held vs. laser times are usually different.

This^ is exactly what I have been trying to tell Gabe and others who compare 40 times from a youTube highlight film of recruits or times that are otherwise stated for recruits. True 40 times are obtained through some sort of electronic means, even to the point of having "triggers" that go off as soon as a foot moves from the starting position. Hand-held timers can be .2-.4 or .5 off. Weight seldom effects negatively 40 times for offensive or defensive skill players if it is muscle weight. In fact, that normally improves it by increasing initial explosion time.

I agree with your post but the only time I questioned a 40 time is when the Forum posted Okland ran a 4.6. Then a few weeks later reported 4.7 when his website said 4.5 and then everyone assumed he was slow when in fact he looks fast.

This kid probably does not run a 4.35. Its probably a 4.45 which is still fast as hell.

[bisoningrandforks]

how fast can you run in pads, is the???..bigger??? we'll see how much they improve overall in a year or 2 when they get here..attitude/determination!!!

Those are some crazy fast times. I wonder if Chris Cook's time is down a bit due to the knee injuries.
