I am so tired of people talking about football speed vs track speed or timed speed or whatever. If you are fast, you are fast. The problem with the overrated 40yd dash time is........people can train for a forty, which is ridiculous in itself; but they can and it is all about the start. You can gain several tenths of a second in your total forty run with a great start.The problem with some football players like Evans and Jenkins is they may not have a great forty start because of their height (CJ is an anomaly); and who cares because football players are always on the run (rolling start in track) when the are trying to reach maximum speed on a play. That is the reason why some players are fast in a forty (because they have a great start) but slow on the field and slow forty guy can be fast on the field. Players should be giving a rolling start at the combine kinda like the max vert.....
