If you think Lamar would have scored on the play where Huntley was pushed out at the 5... I disagree.  Lamar might have gotten an additional yard.

You're seriously underestimating that two-tenths of a second. Anecdotally, my best 40 time I ever ran was a 4.7 and guys who ran a 4.5 could routinely gain distance on me. I felt helpless. Again, it is like saying Higgins and Chase have no discernable difference between them when we have routinely seen Chase run by people and make big plays whereas Higgins doesn't have that same ability. Most of that time is in the acceleration and it makes a big difference. 

EDIT - I'll throw in this portion to get the rest of my thoughts out. If .2 seconds is "the blink of an eye", insinuating it isn't that big of a deal, then I would ask what is a big deal? Kenny Pickett's 40 is .4 seconds slower. That's not much longer than the blink of an eye by your measure. Is Lamar really that much faster than Kenny? 

Finally, Huntley didn't go out at the 5 - he went out at the 2. With Lamar's extra speed, that extra yard you give him could be more than enough to score the TD on the dive to the pylon. If you still disagree after this, then agree to disagree.
