So much gets made over whether a player runs 40's in 4.4 range or get overly excited when they run a 4.38 for example.
These guys are now training for months to run and workout. Some very fast guys in this draft pulling off 4.2's 40.
But not very often is it a track meet on field.
Yes speed kills of course. However, speed measured which way?
Sudden quickness, change of direction, explosive first step, ability to get speration means more then then pure 40 time.
And 40 times can be negated by defenders who have high football IQ, taking proper angles, etc.
