40 time probably more important. Lot of plays for WR (and other positions) in the 40 – 50 yard and less range. Not to many 100 yard plays. Initial burst more important than sustained speed.

Don’t let a 4.4 40 yard time fool you. Running a 100 is a whole lot different. Tabuyo the other year had a very fast 40 time, but got smoked by the QB from the outer islands in the 4 X 100, by a lot. In the 40, that QB wouldn’t have stood a chance, but in the 100, different story. Many runners have quick explosion and burst, but slow down on the top end, others open up and stay on pace a lot longer.

the electronic times are the ones that are official. they told us that at the combine because the hand times are often ‘faster’ than they should be. but my dad was told that the electronic timing though always slower than the hand time is what the colleges will use from any combine because hand time are subject to human error. I think everything else was really good and everyone should always to go this combine. the really big name guys dont always need to go because they have offers but if we can give specific results for our times its helps us who wont go play at USC or UW like Perry. Kenny Patton is in charge of the timing and stuff and I trust him more than pretty much anyone else to do what is right for the athletes.

They need to get rid of hand times completely already. It’s almost pointless if you have electronic equipment. When you have a discrepancy of 4.48 – 4.92, that just says it all. That’s the difference between a Sammy Watkins and a Aaron Donald.

Wow the times are all over the place hard to trust these times. These are top NFL times, indoors with no wind and no sun. Where were these kids with the 4.4 times in the state track meet last month. They would have cleaned house. Just saying. Dont get me wrong the kids are not in question, just the combine.
