Good time for 40 yard dash

[Corrupted-Minds]

What is a good time for an average wide receiver to get on a 40 or 50 yard dash?

[cherries]

depends colleges want 4.5 4.4 in high school i dunno 4.6

[p9morbid]

4.3 or 4.4 hand-timed is pretty fast.

4.6 maybe 4.7 is prolly an average wide out. but mostly 4.6 prolly

For high school the average is probably about 4.6 or 4.7. But colleges usually look only at the ones who run 4.4 or less, and sometimes guys who run a 4.5.

It just depends on what type of receiver you are wanting. If you want a tall and strong receiver that can jump up and fight for the ball he doesn't have to be too fast but if you want a smaller receiver that can outrun the defense then thats a different story. But generally anywhere from 4.6 to 4.9.

A reciever that runs a 4.9, I hope not. I played guard in high school and I ran a 4.8.

R'dale has a couple of linemen that run 4.8 now, and what is really scary is they will be back next year!

you want to hear about a fast, scary lineman. Early in Reggie White's career in Green Bay, he was clocked at a 4.3 according to ESPN. Now that is truly scarey, as big as he is.

That's BS. Reggie White never had that kind of speed.

 

Few high school football players run sub 4.75. Those who do are the exceptions.
