How good can Tee Higgins be?

I remember one of them saying he ran a 4.7 at some point. But the thing is, I bet every WR could run a different time on any given day. We all have our good days and bad even elite athletes, and just another reason I dont put too much stock in 40 times for WR's unless its insanely slow or they dont have Auden Tate's size, hands and reach. 

It's a tool.  Some guys play faster than they time.  Some play slower.  In Tee's case, his 40 looks about like the speed he plays at, a little below average.  It's important for evaluation because there's a lot of college DB's that will make a 4.55 guy look like a burner on film.

The other part is that there's a good deal of training that goes into it, because it can drastically impact a guy's draft stock.  So, you can get get an idea of work ethic and coachability from it.
