10 yard split more important

Though still not extremely important, good measure of short distance explosion. Heck, I would argue that for a skill guy, 10 yard fly time is more important than the 40, because it's showing the top acceleration speed.


Sorry JT, but nope. only thing that matters is film

16 hours over a glorious early spring weekend makes me awesome. And then I fret about and tweak my mocks.


But what's on your other living room TV screen? NBA? NHL?

well, that's not completely true--someone forwarded me the cut up version of Luke McCaffery running the 40 superimposed with his brother running the 40 back in 2017, so I did see that.


I can't ever see myself watching combine footage

but I do love the NFL draft. I understand the people who make fun of me for it...but I do love the draft.

KC held it last year and I hope we get it again (but doubt it). And no, I didn't go down with a Chiefs construction hard hat, Kelce jersey, and face painted red/white.

in high school, of course, we ran a 40 yard dash. But someone measured it out and thinks it might have been a 38 or 39 yard dash. Think about it, a coach comes in and measures high schooler times for RB's and a kid runs a 4.75 or something...you can't give that score to a recruiter. Not that recruiters cared...our FB was 6'0 and 235lbs who was fast and powerful (see my profile) and every college wanted him. He probably ran faster than 4.75, but who knows.

So we'd have some guys run in the low 4.33 range (back in mid 80's)...guys were fast, for sure, four of our guys won the 4x400 state champ in big class, but did not run under 4.4.


Hey! You know Coach Sev measured that out to the millimeter! *
