In reply to: what does a 40 yd dash test for an O-lineman? * posted by kdh325

which is actually the basis of why they originally started testing 40 times.
The theory was that for marginal players, 40 times would be the deciding point on making the team, if the player could contribute on special teams.

It's evolved into the beat-all end-all of who to draft, but was never intended to be so.

The perennially good teams draft mainly on college film. Alt has a ton of great film.
