There were 3 hand-timed 40's all with about 3 minute intervals in between. The first two were in the 4.4's and the third one was a 4.5.

I don't think size is factored in as much as it needs to be. When you compare the reach between a guy like Ginn (6'1) to a guy like Jarrett (6'5) that's gotta account for something.

The 6'5 guy can reach considerably further out and up higher for a ball.

Anquan Boldin ran a 4.6.

That didn't stop him from being a badass WR.

Ted Ginn Jr.-WR-Player Apr. 11 - 2:33 pm et

Ted Ginn Jr. (mid-foot sprain) ran three forties in the 4.38-4.41 range at his Pro Day Wednesday, according the Columbus Dispatch.

Scout.com reported that Ginn ran six routes in pass-catching drills and fell on five before the workout was called off. We've confirmed that it's been raining in Columbus, so that's a possible explanation. Rams head coach Scott Linehan was impressed nonetheless: "Even not probably 100 percent, he still ran faster than most guys. So I think he's just fine."

that speed seems just mighty fine to me

Now that's more what I would expect out of Ginn. I just checked out the link in the OP, and it's just a rumor.

May as well delete this whole thread.

Your wrong Mecca he should be affecting our decision not to draft on the speed factor.

He ran a 4.4.That is fast enough for a NFL WR.

This reaffirms my love of Dwayne Jarrett. 40 times are overrated.

New info from rotoworld:

NFL.com's Gil Brandt reports Ted Ginn ran 20 routes at his Pro Day.
An earlier report counted six, and Brandt doesn't mention Ginn "falling" despite the rain in Columbus. He says Ginn had to stop running the routes because of his sore foot. It's pretty amazing that Ginn ran in the 4.3s while injured in the rain. Head coaches in attendance were Scott Linehan (Rams), Cam Cameron (Dolphins), and Marvin Lewis (Bengals). The Rams and 'Fins brought their personnel people to the workout.

I agree. I do not want a WR in the 1st round....

Right on.

I hope the Chiefs forget everything they know the WRs 40 times. It just isn't a factor. (see the ultimate example: Jerry Rice 4.6 to 4.7)

1 - Hands
2 - Work ethic/drive
3 - Route Running
4 - Quickness
5 - and finally speed

Don't buy that at at all, I'm bit a big fan of Ginn but he isn't Parker either. He's taller and actually you know plays special teams....

People don't want WR's it's nice to know you want the Chiefs to essentially start a rookie QB with no one to throw too, that's brilliant.

Yeah.... Green threw for 4000+ yds 3 straight years to those receivers you classify as "no one to throw too"....

I'm surprised, earlier in the year you were touting that Ginn will be a bigtime bust

How'd he look with those recievers in the playoff game? Or for most of the year in general?

Those WR's aren't even as good as they were because Parker sucks and Kennison is ancient for his position.

That was also suppose to say "I'm not a big fan of Ginn"

This devaluation of the WR position is just moronic I'm sorry, there's a reason we haven't had a good WR in 20 years and alot of people think that's fine and want to continue on with it, let's take another crappy DT instead.
