putboobieincoach Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 got this off the internet: Many reported times are unreliable due to differences in timing methods if not intentional falsifications. The NFL did not begin using partial electronic timing (started by hand, stopped electronically) at the Scouting Combine until 1990. In the electronic timing era, the fastest recorded time at the NFL Combine is 4.25 seconds by cornerback Fabian Washington in 2005. [1] Most times close to 4.0 are considered untrustworthy because of the use of hand timing, but still many use hand-timed 40s. Players such as Randal Williams (4.04)[2], Bo Jackson (4.12)[3], Michael Bennett (4.13)[4], Jerome Mathis (4.25) [5],DeAngelo Hall (4.15)[6][7], Michael Vick (4.25) Joe Candito (4.33) ,Lee Suggs (4.27)[8], Don Beebe (4.21)[9], Randy Moss (4.25)[10], Darrell Green (4.15[11], 4.2[12]), and Laveranues Coles (4.2)[13], Joey Galloway (4.19)[14] have approached that mark.

MO$$$$ Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Jerry Rice reportedly ran a 4.6 or 4.7 second 40-yard dash (regarded as a mediocre figures for a wide receiver)[citation needed] . He went on to play in 13 Pro Bowls, win 3 Super Bowls, and break a whole pile of NFL receiving records NFL records (at the time of his retirement he had 28 NFL records). Said former teammate Ronnie Lott, "Jerry may have been a 4.6 or a 4.7, but he was a 4.2 on Sundays." Rice was also generally noted for being able to run as fast a 40-yard dash under the weight of heavy NFL padding as he was in track gear. Emmitt Smith ran the 40 in 4.71 seconds, considered flat-out slow for a running back. Despite his record-breaking college career, he was selected 17th in the 1990 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys. Another running back, Blair Thomas, was selected much earlier with the second pick -- in part because of his 4.4 second 40 time. Smith went on to set the all-time rushing mark and win three Super Bowls, while Thomas had a much less noteworthy career. Of course, there may be a man bites dog bias in such stories: there are countless examples of a slow 40 time correctly indicating that a successful college player will not be effective in the faster NFL. Also, while the 40 is the most talked about by fans, scouts also consider 10- and 20-yard dashes, as well as shuttle runs and cone drills, as measures of a player's quickness. This may be the best way to think of the forty. Results dont lie. Think of this. Would you rather have a back that got his speed all out in the 20 and slower in the fourty, or a back that had a slower 20 and had a better 40 time? I suspect that was the case between Emmitt Smith and Blair Thomas noted above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutsports Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I have seen video of a kid from Hardin County -- Sam Schutt. I am unsure of his times in the forty but this kid can fly. I am told he is being looked at by quite a few schools and he deserves the looks from the 5 minute video I saw of him. Sam Schutt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
