And since very few WRs run 4.35 at the combine I don't see how the entire Vikings WR corps could average less than 4.35.
I did some digging, and it said that it only takes their top 4 WRs into account, and it's only speculation who their top 4 receivers will be.
"We’ll take a look at the top four receivers for each team, according to Ourlads’ depth chart information (which is sometimes off, but represents the best, decently objective and standardized information we have). For those receivers, we’ll find their 40 times and compare them across their peers nationally.
Initially, it looks like the Vikings have a good shot. The slowest receiver among the six most likely to make the roster is Adam Thielen, who ran a 4.45 40-yard dash"
