If he would just bulk up in the weight room and eat a few doughnuts, we could put him at NT and have the fastest force of 300 pounds anyone has ever seen.

You don't have to have him eat doughnuts. The S&T staff at USC had to watch his weightlifing, because if they didn't, he'd get up to 260-270.

On that slow track, that's equivalent to a 4.3.

And he's a 4.4 flat guy, just like Haden is a 4.5 flat guy and Thomas is a 4.45ish guy

These statistics are interesting. How much difference does .05 seconds really make when judging these guys and how does that translate to play on the field?

For defensive backs I don't think straight-line speed is as important as some of the other drills they run. Sure, they need to run with the fastest WRs, but in a game they're going to be backpedaling, turning their hips and then running and they will never be in a 3 point stance.

40 times are most important for defensive backs and WRs, because they have to run the farthest in a "straight" line. It's far less important for lineman, of which the 10 yard split is far more important. Deion ran the fastest 40 every recorded at the combine, and he was obviously a great a cover corner. However, Brandon Flowers ran a very pedestrian 40 (4.58) and yet is a very good NFL corner. There are exceptions to every rule, but it's generally a good barometer for their absolute upside.

When you think about a defender, it seems like there are three elements to making a tackle: 1. Recognizing the play and the flow and the ballcarrier. 2. Taking the best angle to the ball. 3. Getting there. #3 gets all the publicity because it's easy to measure, and obviously speed is important. But I wonder how they measure #1 and #2 with as much accuracy. I think they can't.
