So because he isn't wearing pads a 300 lb man running a 4.7 isn't impressive? It the 40 is overrated, why is the NFL having them run it?Ehh... the 40 is an overrated metric considering they aren't wearing full pads when running.
I'm with you and count me in as very impressed. That is an amazing time for a man that big.So because he isn't wearing pads a 300 lb man running a 4.7 isn't impressive? It the 40 is overrated, why is the NFL having them run it?
A big difference between track speed and football speed. The 10 yard splits are more telling for a lineman along with the agility drills.So because he isn't wearing pads a 300 lb man running a 4.7 isn't impressive? It the 40 is overrated, why is the NFL having them run it?
Exactly! But it did help him with a couple more million. I'm sure it turned heads.A big difference between track speed and football speed. The 10 yard splits are more telling for a lineman along with the agility drills.
I do agree - but at the same time, impressive athleticism.A big difference between track speed and football speed. The 10 yard splits are more telling for a lineman along with the agility drills.
Why must every stat be dissected? The poster passed along a stat for what we can all agree is a fast time for someone of that size.A big difference between track speed and football speed. The 10 yard splits are more telling for a lineman along with the agility drills.
This ^ ... gives new meaning to bigger, stronger, faster. Whether or not this really means anything as to whether he is a top tier lineman, that it a top tier athletic feat. Just being able to get off and accelerate that much mass that quickly (even its a 40 and not a 20) has to be some kind of meaningful measure.Why must every stat be dissected? The poster passed along a stat for what we can all agree is a fast time for someone of that size.
Isn't dissecting every little stat and measurable the entire point of the NFL Combine?Why must every stat be dissected? The poster passed along a stat for what we can all agree is a fast time for someone of that size.
It just gets old that each time someone posts a remarkable measurable that the peanut gallery shows up to debate the need or lack of need for that particular measurable.Isn't dissecting every little stat and measurable the entire point of the NFL Combine?
My apologies for not being one to get all excited about 40 times.
