Mays also had major trouble changing direction, often coming to a complete stop as opposed to making a smooth transition. Pauline believes Mays will have trouble in man coverage and making plays sideline-to-sideline. The same concerns dogged him at the Senior Bowl."

A guy who runs a 4.1 40 shouldn't need to backpedal. Just turn around and run and then turn back around.
