Here's the other thing about the 10 yard split - a hundredth of a second actually moves the needle.
A 1.51 vs. a 1.46 brings him down about 15% overall. Over 10 yards, that may truly be nothing than a 1st step (and he's small with short strides so he's gonna get those first couple steps pretty quickly).
The fact that 97th percentile over the first 10 yards to 82nd percentile by the time you get to 40 yards says that he's bleeding time vs. most prospects by really his 2nd or 3rd step. Combine that with the poor shuttle and 3-cone times and you have to ask what any of that actually does for you on a football field. And how useful is that 1st/2nd step when you can't even put it into use because you're so small that you can't absorb contact on the LOS so you have to sit there and foot fire to try to create a release?
The answer seems to be getting clearer by the day - it don't do much.
