Are you kidding?

Let's say a receiver is timed at running a 4.5 but in reality runs a 4.9. Are you claiming that he'd have the same success on the field as a receiver with true 4.9 speed as opposed to 4.5?

Of course it's not. But the two aren't mutually exclusive. A guy that has great football skills while being fast athletically is going to have a better success rate than a guy with great football skills that runs 5/10ths of a second slower.

Get it?

So? Does that mean that their 40 times were accurate or inaccurate? What's the point?
