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. 

A 40 yd (120 ft) dash time of 4.7 seconds (Huntley) = 25.532 feet per second.
A 40 yd (120 ft) dash time of 4.5 seconds (Lamar) = 18.18 mph = =26.667 feet per second.

The YouTube video I watched of the run, is at 30 frames per second.
There are exactly 187 frames between here...



and here, where first contact is made...



187 frames at 30 fps = 187/30 = 6.233 seconds



Which means if Huntley ran 25.532 feet per second for 6.233 seconds, he would travel 159.141 feet 
Which means if Lamar ran at 26.667 feet per second for those same 6.233 seconds, he would travel 166.215 feet

A difference of 7.074 feet or just over 2 yards.
Contact was made at the 5 yard line, and Huntley was driven out at the 2

Would Lamar have scored?  MAYBE... by a foot.
But, it's not definite.
